Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund Wave 3
Boosting Energy Efficiency: Social Housing Fund Wave 3 Launched to Retrofit Homes
In September 2024, the Government launched Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund Wave 3, a major initiative to improve the energy efficiency of social housing in England. The goal is to upgrade a significant portion of social housing to achieve Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) band C, helping to provide warmer, more energy-efficient homes while reducing carbon emissions, cutting fuel bills, and tackling fuel poverty. The fund also aims to grow the retrofit supply chain’s capacity and capabilities, promoting innovation and productivity within the construction sector. By upskilling social landlords in retrofit practices, the initiative paves the way for long-term improvements in energy efficiency across the social housing sector.
The Social Housing Fund offers financial support to local authorities, registered social housing providers, combined authorities, and registered charities that own social housing, enabling them to implement energy-saving upgrades and low-carbon heating solutions.
Building blocks for decarbonizing your building
Balancing the heating system is key
Hydronic balancing is essential for optimizing HVAC systems, ensuring they operate efficiently and reducing energy consumption.
The balancing process adjusts flow rates to real-time demand, preventing heat allocation errors and contributing to significant energy savings. With rising energy prices, and a global push towards reducing CO2 emissions, hydronic balancing offers a practical solution to enhance system performance and meet climate goals.
It also addresses common issues, such as noise from uneven heating distribution, improves indoor comfort and extends the system's lifespan.
