The UK Government’s insulation scheme, Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), has been set to revolutionise how we approach home energy efficiency, potentially slashing winter energy bills for many. However, as we delve deeper into the implementation of this promising scheme, it’s crucial to address some of the constraints that could impact its uptake, particularly concerning ventilation issues.
Ensuring adequate ventilation while improving insulation is a delicate balance. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation, mould growth, and a less healthy living environment. It’s essential for the GBIS scheme to incorporate solutions that address these concerns, ensuring homes are not only warmer but also healthier and more comfortable.
Some of the concerns have been driven by the installation of vents where some homeowners may have a negative response to changes into the fabric of their doors and windows. However, to overcome this, we are working with partners to deliver innovative insulation materials and techniques that enhance ventilation while maintaining high energy efficiency standards.
