Are there any detailed costed plans, rather than aspirations, of how to retro fit the SBEC low carbon technologies into existing dwellings, or any plans to make these technologies compulsory in new buildings? If so please share them.

All of the technologies being developed within SBEC are subject to commercial review on an ongoing basis to consider capital cost, operational life cost and payback period, in a variety of building types with varied demands.The team are very aware that in order to achieve uptake on new technology there must be commercial as well as technical viability
