Speeding Up the Roll-Out of Heat Pumps With Lessons from Archetypal Outcome-Led Packaged Retrofit Solutions


Heat pump deployment in the UK is well behind targets. Energiesprong UK has been exploring deep retrofit with heat pumps in non-traditionally built homes which has been challenging but insightful. We have tested different retrofit packages in several prominent archetypes, which represent 200k properties in the UK. The lessons learned and solutions developed offer the potential for a step-change in scale, helping contribute to a retrofit ecosystem capable of delivering 1m homes a year.
