Lendology are proud to partner with the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) on their innovative Retrofit Toolkit. This collaboration underlines our shared commitment to sustainable living and enhancing the wellbeing of communities through responsible home improvements.
Retrofitting refers to the process of upgrading existing buildings with modern energy-efficient technologies and systems. Unlike new constructions that can include the latest energy-saving features from the start, retrofitting focuses on updating older homes to reduce their carbon footprint, boost energy efficiency, and enhance comfort. Common retrofit measures include installing insulation, upgrading windows, adding renewable energy sources like solar panels, and replacing outdated heating systems with more efficient alternatives.
The UKGBC’s Retrofit Toolkit is a vital resource to support local and combined authorities in developing retrofit polices and services for homeowners. The fast-growing area of home energy efficiency requires a dynamic and flexible approach. The Retrofit Toolkit is a key resource. It aims to help local authorities to proactively address the challenges of climate change. With an emphasise on reducing carbon footprints and sustainability, the toolkit offers clear and practical guidance.
Supported by six organisations including Lendology, the UKGBC toolkit is part of a broader initiative aimed at accelerating domestic retrofits across the UK. It is crucial for driving the large-scale adoption of energy efficiency measures necessary to meet the UK’s climate goals.
Our partnership with the UKGBC is a natural extension of our mission to provide responsible finance for home improvements. Financial solutions should not only serve individual homeowners but also contribute to the greater good. By supporting this toolkit, Lendology is actively contributing to a future where energy-efficient homes are the norm rather than the exception. By providing financial solutions that make retrofitting accessible, we help our customers thrive while also contributing to wider environmental goals.
Partnering with UKGBC on the Retrofit Toolkit align with a shared mission to drive sustainable change in how we live. At Lendology, we are excited to be part of this initiative, and we look forward to continuing our work in making homes across the UK more energy-efficient, resilient, and sustainable.
