Developing the evidence base for housing retrofit in the North of Tyne

Housing retrofit programmes require large investment and the appropriate targeting of measures to individual properties to avoid unintended consequence, particularly for fabric measures.

In order to develop a realistic, low-risk and cost-effective plan for housing stock retrofit, we need the most accurate information relating to that stock.

We are looking to appoint a contractor to deliver the following two elements of work: 1.

To provide the three constituent North of Tyne Local Authorities with a high quality property level domestic energy efficiency database for North of Tyne housing data, which will enable energy and CO2 modelling for a wide range of energy efficiency measures across the North of Tyne.

2.

To provide a baseline housing stock and funding options analysis report The appointed contractor is required to provide a coherent property level database and provide further analysis to support the development of an Outline Business Case for a large scale domestic retrofit programme.
