The project allows for energy saving measure to improve the insulation of heat and in homes, which in turn will help reduce energy bills for Barnet Homes residents.
After the presentation, there was a tour of existing projects and a visit to the first home completed under this project. Quinn London confirmed there is a tight delivery pipeline to work towards to ensure 66 homes are retrofitted in phase one of the project, with a further two phases, completion of 238 homes altogether expected to be delivered in March 2025.
Barnet Homes’ Retrofit Resident Engagement Officer, Kundai Rusike says “It was a pleasure to meet the members of Future of London and to discuss the initiatives Barnet Homes is undertaking to improve the energy efficiency of our tenants’ homes. The members showed great interest in the retrofit projects, asking insightful questions throughout the presentation. We also had the opportunity to showcase our retrofit project and facilitate conversations between the members and tenant from our pilot property, who shared their experiences and the benefits they have observed.”
