The Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB)'s CarbonLite retrofit standard creates a measurable pathway to make existing homes more comfortable, healthy and efficient.
We sat down for a chat with the AECB's Tim Martel in the Retrofit Zone, to explore how CarbonLite works and what it means to use a 'Performance Based Standard' like this to plan and track your project.
In collaboration with the Passivhaus Trust.
Next steps for those inspired by Guy Martin’s House Without Bills
For those inspired by the Passivhaus retrofit featured in Guy Martin's House Without Bills, which aired on Channel 4, the Passivhaus Trust is offering a wide range of resources to help homeowners and construction professionals take the next steps.
The programme followed the nine-month renovation of a semi-detached house in Stretford, with the aim of reducing heating demand to an absolute minimum. The result was a full transformation to Passivhaus retrofit standards, with Guy Martin involved in each stage of the build.
