Decarbonisation FAQs

What does decarbonisation in construction mean?

Decarbonisation in construction refers to the process of reducing carbon emissions associated with a building. This includes energy-efficient designs, renewable energy solutions and sustainable materials.

Energy efficiency measures such as electrifying heating systems, replacing gas boilers with heat pumps, and integrating modern, smart technologies aim to lower energy consumption and greenhouse gases, helping you achieve Net Zero by 2050.

What does decarbonisation and retrofit services mean?

Decarbonisation and retrofit services involve upgrading existing buildings to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability to reduce carbon emissions.

This can include installing insulation, double-glazing, solar PV and upgrading heating systems.

At Axis, our decarbonisation and retrofit services enhances environmental performance, helping you meet Net Zero targets while boosting energy efficiency.

What energy efficiency measures (EEM) does Axis install?

Axis EEM installations:

  • Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) 
  • District Heat Networks (DHN) 
  • Electric Heating Systems 
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Point Installations 
  • Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors 
  • Insulation: External Wall Insulation (EWI), Re-Cladding Solutions, Insulation Solutions (loft, cavity wall, internal wall) 
  • Solar PV Panel Systems 
  • Ventilation Systems 

What is a Retrofit Co-Ordinator and the importance of decarbonisation in construction?

Retrofit Co-ordinators play a vital role in delivering energy-efficient upgrades in housing, ensuring compliance with PAS 2035 and funding criteria. They manage risk, quality, and stakeholder engagement, which is key to achieve safe, sustainable decarbonisation. Within Axis’ team, this includes qualified Retrofit Co-ordinators and Assessors.

How can retrofitting properties help landlords align with the UK’s Net Zero goals?

Retrofitting buildings improves energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions which falls under supporting the UK Government’s Net Zero strategy. By integrating energy-efficient solutions such as insulation, solar panels and low-carbon heating, landlords can lower energy use, enhance EPC ratings, and comply with environmental standards.
