Climate Conscious Home Improvements

by Rosalind Dean

Retrofit is really hard, says Jonathan Hind, Founding Director of .  So what is retrofit, and why should we care

Retrofit is turning older houses into comfortable, healthy homes that are cheaper to run, emit less carbon and stay cool in a heat wave.  Simple in theory, but complicated in practice, because all houses are different in their history and how we use them.  

Why should we care  In 2023, 1.6 Megatonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalent of annual territorial greenhouse gas emissions were from domestic gas and electricity consumption in South Yorkshire. This single year accounts for nearly a third of the regions remaining housing carbon budget for the 25 years to 2050 if we are to stay within the Climate Change Committees (CCC) pathway to net zero.  According to the South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre:

If South Yorkshire aims to champion carbon reduction and commit to meeting the 1.5 C net- zero climate limit, its approximately 609,000 existing homes, including 480,000 houses and bungalows, must be retrofitted as fast as possible, whilst minimising the embodied emissions from the retrofits.

Last week, I went to a Festival of Debate Stocktake on Retrofit and Residential Energy Systems.  People there have been working on retrofit for years, on every aspect from regional strategies to where to put the heat pump.  So what did they have to tell us

Start with insulation, so that other improvements dont lose heat into the cold outdoors.  The Upper Don Community Energy Groups Community Warming project provides draft excluders and door curtains.  Wall insulation (internal, external and cavity), roof insulation and double or triple-glazed windows are the best bet for reducing carbon, reducing bills and making homes warmer.

Take opportunities when they arise.  If we are doing other work, like changing our carpets or reroofing, try insulating the floors and roofs at the same time.  Find out about Warm Homes Grants.    Visit the Sheffield Energy Hub.

Realise that retrofit is complicated, with lots of different trades involved, and find someone like SY Ecofit, who can coordinate an integrated service. 

Make use of the skilled people we have, like locally based small enterprises.  Barnsley College has a Clean Energy Training Centre, which includes retrofit. 

Work where there is a high concentration of houses with poor energy performance, combining worst-first with area-based savings.  This is what Sheffield Council and Housing Associations are doing.

Target houses with the highest energy demand, i.e., larger pre-1920s.  This is a recommendation from the South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre. 

Make sure that plans cover everyone, especially the 15% of South Yorkshire households living in fuel poverty, and in damp and mouldy homes that lead to respiratory problems.

District Heating Networks could cover 4% of South Yorkshire homes, using waste heat from industry and rubbish.

Beware the rebound effect, if people heat their houses more, reducing the savings on money and carbon.

Heat Pumps work best in insulated houses.  A bonus is that some of them have cooling facilities, which worked a treat during the recent heat wave.

Climate Change Minister Musadik Malik on Tuesday warned that Indias reported move to place the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance could set a dangerous precedent for downstream countries across the world, cautioning that the weaponisation of water threatened the foundations of global treaty systems and multilateralism

The thermal comfort inside the house depended mainly on air flow, as high air velocity contributed to enhancing thermal comfort. Roof openings with various designs and shapes also improved air flow, thus helping to cool the roof during the day and enhance cool air circulation at night

Even without climate change, a survey found that 4.27 million tons of water would be insufficient annually to achieve the governments goal of stable water supply by 2030. When climate change scenarios are factored in, the projected water shortage increases nearly eightfold

UN climate chief warns of human and economic climate impacts driving Europes heatwave

Record-breaking temperatures were reported across the European continent this week, with experiencing 35.1 degrees Celsius (around 95 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday. In a statement released yesterday, Simon Stiell, the executive secretary of the Framework Convention on , said, This latest in is a brutal reminder of the spiraling impacts of the climate crisis, both human and economic. The main culprit is the worlds addiction to burning , , and , and destroying forests.

Sunburned Conflict prevalence in 686 United States solar projects

Rapid growth in large-scale solar has intensified attention to land-use conflict, yet researchers lack systematic estimates of attention and conflict prevalence across the U.S. This study examines conflict-attention prevalence among large-scale solar projects and the institutional and demographic factors associated with intensity.

The findings are clear: the risk of preterm birth increases linearly as temperatures rise. On days of moderate heat, this risk increases by 2.8%. On days of extreme heat, the increase reaches 3.8%.

How Spooked the Global Market
What the company ultimately decides to do with these projects matters because of its juggernaut-status in bankrolling technologies for capturing meaning its withdrawal would send shock-waves through the market. Many projects around the world have developed a Microsoft or bust business model, says Lee Bostock, founding partner at Vuelta Carbon.
