Building Supply Chain for Mass Refurbishment of Houses: Sustainable Supply Chain - Draft Supply Chain Design (WP4 D2) Appendix 1.10: Stretched Pensioners
Abstract:
This project looked at designing a supply chain solution to improve the energy efficiency of the vast majority of the 26 million UK homes which will still be in use by 2050.It looked to identify ways in which the refurbishment and retrofitting of existing residential properties can be accelerated by industrialising the processes of design, supply and implementation, while stimulating demand from householders by exploiting additional opportunities that come with extensive building refurbishment.The project developed a top-to-bottom process, using a method of analysing the most cost-effective package of measures suitable for a particular property, through to how these will be installed with the minimum disruption to the householder. This includes identifying the skills required of the people on the ground as well as the optimum material distribution networks to supply them with exactly what is required and when.
This deliverable is number 2 of 8 in Work Package 4. The report presents the development of the framework of an adaptable and scalable supply chain to meet customers’ requirements for whole house retrofit for improved thermal efficiency. The findings to date are derived from workshops held with members of the retrofit industry; in addition to WP4 they also feed into the design interventions developed in WP3. Subsequent work in WP4 will focus on the creation of a supply chain to deliver the detailed design solutions emerging from WP3. This report presents the development of the framework of an adaptable and scalable supply chain to meet customers’ requirements for whole house retrofit for improved thermal efficiency.
