secured \u00a31.4m Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) Wave 1 funding , which will work with the West Midlands Combined Authority and Stratford-on-Avon District Council to upgrade 136 properties<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the Wave 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/social-housing-decarbonisation-fund\/102898\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SHDF funding<\/a>, Orbit is investing a further \u00a34.6m into the project.<\/p>\n<p>By March 2023, Orbit will upgrade more than 20,000 social housing properties that currently stand below an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) C rating.<\/p>\n<p>This will help to reduce fuel bills for social housing tenants, as well as deliver warm homes and significantly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/zero-carbon-construction\/103363\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lower carbon emissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The upgrade follows the initial success of the SHDF Demonstrator project that has been delivering innovative approaches to retrofitting social housing in a scalable way since October 2020.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Providing more energy-efficient homes and sustainable communities\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Ted Pearce, director of Strategic Asset Management at Orbit, commented: \u201cWe are committed to reducing the carbon emissions of our properties and delivering on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/the-construction-industry\/103833\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">net-zero carbon targets<\/a> in order to provide more energy-efficient homes and sustainable communities for our customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs fuel bills continue to soar, there is a growing financial burden for households across the country and this funding will help us to tackle this issue in Stratford and the West Midlands and use the experience so we can proactively plan ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince being awarded SHDF funding in early 2021, we have undertaken a large programme of works in Stratford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has included hard-to-treat homes, such as properties with solid walls and properties that have a relatively small floor area to their external area-such as bungalows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommitting to a whole house retrofit while customers remain living in their home has helped the team-led by Jeanette Hodges-to really attain a great understanding of the practical challenges of achieving net-zero carbon emissions across our properties.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Addressing the challenges in retrofitting social housing\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Pearce added: \u201cThis new phase of funding will enable us to extend this work and help us to continue to utilise the latest technology and innovation to address the challenges in retrofitting social housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe learnings will be invaluable for the sector to successfully deliver on its decarbonisation aims, and enable us to better understand the impact on our customers and our role in supporting them through this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-105423
