Research from the Energy Saving Trust states that 21% of the UK’s total carbon emissions come from housing. More than 80% of homes that will be lived in by 2050 are already built, and most of these require upgrades to achieve required energy standards — there is a major retrofit challenge ahead.

Meanwhile, in the commercial sector, the government has set a target to incrementally raise the minimum energy efficiency standard to let, non-domestic, buildings to Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating B by 1 April 2030.
Retrofitting double glazing will play a key part in achieving net zero targets. It is also becoming more commonplace, particularly when targeting Passivhaus standards.
Key considerations during specification are thermal efficiency (U-value), solar gain (G-value) and air leakage (L value). Acoustic performance and aesthetics are also important.
