Making Retrofit Routine

Retrofitting offers a practical way for homeowners to improve the comfort and liveability of their homes while reducing their energy use.

The Energy Saving Devon Partnership has produced this free guide to support those wishing to carry out their own retrofit upgrades on their homes. Our vision is for every home in Devon to be affordable to run, healthy to live in, and low carbon, in line with the Devon Carbon Plan.

The guide focuses on the four most common housing archetypes in Devon: Victorian granite detached houses, mid-century detached houses, mid-century semi-detached houses, and cob houses, offering detailed guidance on how to upgrade these buildings.

Throughout this guide, Energy Saving Devon explains the retrofitting process, providing you with valuable insights, tips, and practical advice to help you embark on your journey. We hope the information will enable you to understand the benefits of retrofitting and explore the range of clear and actionable energy-saving measures available for your home.

The Devon Retrofit Guide also aims to support smaller building contractors to advise clients about the appropriate measures available to them to reduce their energy costs and carbon emissions, perhaps as part of other planned renovations.

We hope that you will find this guide useful and wish you well on your retrofit journey.
