REMOURBAN Webinar "Procuring Better Outcomes: Deep domestic retrofit projects"

Join the Nottingham Team on Monday, 28th January 2019, 15.00h (UTC+0) to learn more on innovative procurement for domestic energy retrofitting.

28 January 2019 - 28 January 2019
United Kingdom
Ten Nottingham City Homes’ properties in Sneinton, Nottingham were the first homes in the UK to be refurbished under the Dutch Energiesprong initiative. The Energiesprong approach aims to make desirable, warm and affordable homes by radically improving older houses via one deep retrofit rather than small incremental improvements over time. Instead of procuring a pre-defined construction solution, Nottingham City Homes piloted performance-based procurement and encouraged contractors to be as innovative as possible.
