Delivering Decarbonisation in Social Housing
Improving the energy efficiency of homes has become a major priority across the UK, particularly within the social housing sector. Decarbonisation programmes are helping to reduce emissions, tackle fuel poverty and create healthier living environments for residents.
At F&I Group, our teams support these initiatives through a range of services that help improve building performance while supporting the transition to lower carbon housing.
Improving Energy Efficiency in Homes
Many social housing properties were built decades ago, long before modern energy standards were introduced. As a result, they can often be difficult and expensive to heat, which can contribute to high energy bills and uncomfortable living conditions.
Decarbonisation programmes aim to address these issues by introducing energy efficient improvements such as insulation upgrades, ventilation improvements, heating system upgrades and renewable technologies.
These measures help homes retain heat more effectively, reduce energy demand and lower carbon emissions.
Supporting Retrofit and Energy Improvement Projects
Through our specialist divisions, F&I Group contributes to projects that improve the energy performance of existing housing stock.
Our work can include:
-
Solar PV installation to generate renewable electricity
-
Battery storage systems to maximise energy use
-
Energy efficiency measures delivered under PAS 2035 frameworks
-
Roofing improvements that support insulation upgrades
-
Access solutions that enable safe installation works
By combining expertise across multiple construction disciplines, we help ensure these upgrades are delivered safely and efficiently.
