Retrofit for the future
Energy performance targets for the retrofit for the future programme were based on an 80% reduction in CO₂ from an average 1990 baseline for a typical 80m² semi-detached house of 97 kg CO₂/m².yr
- CO₂ Target : 17 kg/m².yr (if modelled in SAP) and 20 kg/m².yr (if modeled in PHPP * )
- Primary Energy Target: 115 kWh/m².yr
- Space Heating: No specific target was set but if the above targets are met, space heating requirements should necessarily be low (i.e. around 40kWh/m².yr)
