As we inch ever closer to 2035 and 2050 net zero targets, there is increasing pressure to decarbonise high-emitting sectors. With about 30% of the total energy usage in the UK due to the heat and power needs of residential and commercial buildings, the housing sector will face the challenge of adapting rapidly to a net zero world.
