Accepted
Paragraph: 66
Significant opportunities exist to create a comprehensive housing retrofit programme addressing overheating risks.
Conclusion
We consider that there are further opportunities to combine existing initiatives on insulation and energy efficiency into a more ambitious and comprehensive housing retrofit programme which addresses the risks of overheating in existing properties. Such an approach, if well designed and delivered, can minimise both cost and disruption while ensuring homes are energy efficient and remain comfortable to live in.
