Great fun to chair that session at #UKCWVirtual and learnt a few fascinating facts:
1. 38% of UK homes were built pre-war
2. the value of retrofitted homes growing 20% faster than those not in the same area
3. we are building homes TODAY that will need retrofitting in the next 20 years because they aren't energy efficient enough - if you are buying a new build now then demand better performance or it WILL cost you soon
4. we need to boost skills standards in construction - anyone can call themself a builder
5. 11,500 early winter deaths each year are due to poor housing quality (UK)
6. 2,000 (and rising) deaths each year due to overheating (UK)
