Decarbonisation Retrofit

Decarbonisation retrofit is the process of upgrading existing buildings to improve their energy efficiency and remove reliance on fossil fuels, futureproofing properties against rising utility costs and regulatory changes.

For public sector organisations, retrofit decarbonisation is vital to meet statutory net-zero targets, lower operating costs and protect strained public finances from volatile energy prices. Decarbonisation retrofit solutions also eliminate issues like damp and mould to create healthier and safer environments for occupants and staff in settings including schools, hospitals and social housing.

At NHC Procurement, our Decarbonisation Retrofit Framework includes refurbishment works and can help you insulate your buildings more effectively, reducing carbon emissions from housing and other properties, whilst lowering energy costs for your residents.

These retrofit solutions, delivered by our trusted suppliers, can help your organisation comply with regulations including the Future Homes and Building Standards and other frameworks, like PAS 2035 and PAS 2038.

What is the Decarbonisation Retrofit Framework?

The Decarbonisation Retrofit Framework (including refurbishment works) is an all-encompassing procurement solution that covers a range of decarbonisation retrofit works, including loft and cavity wall insulation, kitchen replacements, internal and external painting, roof replacement, plumbing works and damp and mould, as well as several other works. There is also an option to include standard investment works.

This retrofit framework is market-leading, and provides an innovative and compliant solution route to delivery through appointed principal contractors. It complements the works supported through the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Social Housing Decarbonisation fund, SHDF Wave 2 and ECO4 works.

Decarbonisation Retrofit FAQs

What is decarbonisation retrofit?

Decarbonisation retrofit, or retrofit decarbonisation, refers to the process of upgrading existing buildings and infrastructure to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. This can include measures such as insulation improvements, low-carbon heating systems, renewable energy technologies, LED lighting and ventilation upgrades. Decarbonisation retrofit solutions help organisations improve building performance, reduce operational costs and support long-term sustainability goals.

Why are decarbonisation retrofit solutions important?

Decarbonisation retrofit solutions help organisations reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions and improve the efficiency of existing buildings. These upgrades can support sustainability targets, reduce long-term operational costs and enhance occupant comfort and building performance. Retrofit framework programmes also play an important role in helping organisations meet environmental commitments and prepare for evolving energy efficiency and net zero requirements.

How can I ensure my organisation meets regulatory standards?

Organisations can support compliance by working with experienced retrofit suppliers that understand current building regulations, energy efficiency standards and sustainability requirements. This may include meeting standards relating to insulation, heating systems, ventilation and carbon reduction targets. Using compliant procurement frameworks can help organisations access vetted suppliers with the appropriate accreditations, technical expertise and understanding of regulatory obligations to deliver retrofit decarbonisation projects safely and effectively.
