The Sustainable Homes and Buildings Coalition has released its first comprehensive report that clearly explains to consumers how the UK can decarbonise homes and buildings.
Consisting of Worcester Bosch, NatWest, British Gas and Shelter, the Coalition’s ‘Home is where the Heat is’ report aims to ensure consumers have a better understanding of the technology options available to them, and which are most suitable for their home needs.
Understanding that no consumer journey is the same, the report lays out six distinct customer pathways, helping every household identify with a particular journey.
The pathways will help people and policymakers alike, to better visualise the physical steps and process to follow to achieve the ambition of a net zero built environment, while guaranteeing more comfortable homes and buildings. More broadly, the report calls for the government and the wider business community to address the following challenges in order to better support consumers.
Carl Arntzen, chief executive officer of Worcester Bosch, said: “There is no silver bullet to reach net zero emissions from home and building heating, it instead requires a mix of technologies working together. For homeowners, it is vital to understand what would work for their property and what support they can receive.
“This is why we are fully in support of the Coalition and its first report. We believe it is a firm step towards educating and empowering consumers and installers to make greener choices when it comes to their home heating.”
