Houses in Nottingham will form part of a pilot programme to drastically upgrade older UK homes with energy saving and generation technology. Nottingham City Homes will be the first UK entity to use the Dutch “Energiesprong” technique, which upgrades homes by replacing outer walls and windows, adding a solar-panel roof, and installing a state of the art heating system in 2050. The model is affordable, with homeowners paying a flat rate, and updates homes to just a few days's projected energy efficiency standards.
