Transform-ER: one year on video update

To meet the UK’s net-zero targets, we can’t just retrofit homes - we need to reimagine how retrofit is done. That’s why the Transform-ER (Transform. Engage. Retrofit) project is disrupting the status quo to transform retrofit from a fragmented 'cottage industry' into something genuinely scalable, structured, and repeatable.


Funded by Innovate UK and led by Energiesprong UK, Transform-ER is a game-changing project that brings together 13 partners with one shared mission: to create a cohesive, industrialised sector that delivers high-performance, cost-effective solutions through a standardised process - and enable one million home energy upgrades every year by 2030.


Now, one year since the start of the project, a new video showcases the progress that’s been made to reach these ambitions.


Watch the video to find out how the project partners are:


  • Developing a new data-led pipeline platform that matches homes with the right retrofit solution – providing landlords with recommendations like you’d get with Netflix or Amazon Prime!

  • Nurturing innovative, industrialised products to support the move towards a manufacturing-led retrofit approach.

  • Launching a purpose-driven delivery vehicle that uses alliancing to drive down risk, drive up certainty, reduce cost and create smoother project delivery.

  • Unlocking finance by building business cases that align diverse stakeholders' needs and financially incentivise all parties.

  • Radically rethinking resident engagement, helping people feel retrofit is being done with them – not *to* them.

  • Bringing together industry lessons into a Rulebook to help drive the retrofit revolution. 


The next stage of the project will focus on delivering retrofit at scale through a new Community Interest Company (CIC). If you're a UK landlord interested in finding out more about a new way of delivering retrofit schemes, register your interest via this link.
