My Cleanest Greenest Home
Cleanest Greenest Home
A retrofit renovation story that reimagines what’s possible within the homes we already have, and puts the home at the centre of the journey towards a more sustainable future, proving that a healthier, happier, more sustainable home is possible for everyone.
After all, we’re customarily told that the answer to our housing crisis is more: more space, new homes, total overhauls, but that mindset is financially out of reach for many. Environmentally unsustainable. Emotionally overwhelming. And not practical. At the same time…
- Eco upgrades feel daunting, and costly
- Energy saving measures seem complex and out of reach
- Retrofitting appears impossibly complicated
- People feel trapped by their space and stuff
- No-one has time to do the research
- But 34% of UK carbon emissions come from the home
- 21% of UK homes were built before 1919, 52% before 1965: periods when energy efficiency was not a design consideration
- UK homes are therefore the least energy-efficient in Europe
- And nearly 9.6m households live in cold, poorly insulated homes, contributing to health issues that cost the NHS about £540m/year
So this is a retrofit story for the way we really live. Demystifying eco upgrades step by step. Demonstrating the affordable, practical choices anyone can make. Because what if the healthiest, happiest, most sustainable home wasn’t the newest, biggest, or grandest? Retrofitting the homes we already have is not only possible — it’s essential.
