At HLUK2026, delegates will gain practical insights and delivery-focused strategies to accelerate housing decarbonisation, retrofit deployment, zero-carbon new builds, and digital asset optimisation. Key outcomes include:
- Master large-scale retrofit delivery, understanding operational models from national frameworks (£660M retrofit programmes) to local authority mobilisation, resident engagement, and supply chain readiness.
- Learn how to cut energy bills while cutting carbon, through rooftop solar mandates, heat pumps, smart tariffs, and bundled home energy systems (PV + battery + EV charging).
- Understand the blueprint for Zero Bills Housing, including smart home integration, energy-positive design, and new-build policy compliance (solar + battery + heat electrification).
- Use data and digital tools to reduce cost and improve performance, exploring asset digital twins, IoT monitoring, predictive maintenance, and ESG-linked capital for housing portfolios.
- Navigate planning reform and land-use policy, learning how National Land Use Frameworks, infrastructure fast-tracking, and community engagement accelerate project approvals.
- Unlock financing opportunities, including Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Phase 3, private capital for district heat networks, green mortgages, and ESG investment structures.
These learning outcomes will equip attendees to make informed decisions, accelerate decarbonisation across the UK’s built environment, and deliver homes that are warmer, healthier, cheaper to run — and Net Zero ready.
