This Victorian Home is Now 75% More Energy Efficient!

Описание: The UK has the oldest and most energy-inefficient housing stock globally, with nearly 19 million homes rated C or below on the EPC scale. Despite calls for reform, millions of households are stuck in poorly insulated homes, often below the income threshold for a decent standard of living.

Retrofitting existing homes is essential, as 80% of current houses will remain in use by 2050. As energy prices rise, many homeowners face increasing heating costs, highlighting the urgent need for energy efficiency to avoid wastage.

In this episode, Imogen Bhogal heads to St Albans to talk to Judith Leary-Joyce, who has retrofitted her 1901 Victorian home and is now educating others about the process.
