 Poor quality refurbishments can result in lock-in effects with suboptimal improvements typically left untouched for decades, if not generations. We simply cannot afford the resulting missed opportunities for energy savings and emissions reductions. Truly high performance refurbishment with a fabric first approach has the power to substanitally mitigate climate impacts while providing manifold other benefits (as outlined below). On a societal level, high-performance renovations will also dampen peak loads on our energy grids, boost our energy independence and facilitate out transition to a renewables-based energy supply, thus further contributing to our climate goals.

-Another important advantage of high energy efficiency is that higher surface temperatures inside the building prevent mould growth and thus expensive structural damage. Good thermal insulation not only ensures greater comfort, it also actively protects the building fabric.
