Decarbonising the built environment and delivering the Warm Homes Plan - the role of social science and engineering

  • May 21, 2025 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM
  • The Royal Society and online

Amongst the huge number of separate activities needed to reach net zero, decarbonising the built environment is one of the most challenging, particularly domestic homes - with millions of separate owners, and with retrofit a much bigger part of the problem than new build. With a policy backdrop of the government's Warm Homes Plan, how can social science and engineering contribute to solving this huge challenge?
