Preliminary Market Consultation - Green Heat Retrofit Challenge

Descriptions

The Can Do Green Heat Retrofit Innovation Challenge is set up to support public sector social housing providers (Local Authorities and Registered Social Landlords) to find and test solutions that can improve their social housing retrofit programmes.The retrofit challenge programme is flexible. It can help social housing providers find and evaluate retrofit solutions for the house as a whole, or focus on particular systems or components where there is scope to improve on what current suppliers are providing. The goal of this challenge is to support the design and development of affordable retrofit design solutions to support the Scottish Government’s energy efficiency and low C heating ambitions. The aim is to find whole house and subsystem retrofit solutions that can be applied throughout the Scottish social housing stock. Estimates are that there are currently around 800,000 social houses in Scotland and around 75% of them are of 8 social housing styles, or archetypes.Architype1.Multi-storey Home2.The Tenement Home3.The three-storey flat4.The Terraced Home5.The Bungalow6.The Non-Trad Home7.The four in a block8.The semi/detached homeSome of the initial subsystem retrofit challenges are defined as:· Energy Building Fabric Challenge. (reduce energy demand)Roof systems, Wall/cladding system, Floor system, Components· Energy Systems Challenge. (decarbonise energy)Low C heat system (Heat Pump), Low C Power system, Storage (Power & Heat)· Monitoring & Service Integration Challenge. (support system control and optimisation; and integration with asset management and tenant health and wellbeing services)Energy System Management and control.Asset Management, Energy Efficiency, Fuel Poverty, Health & Social Care Service integration.However, we are also keen to hear from suppliers who have innovative solutions out with these if the impact from their adoption will meet the carbon and cost reduction aims.This improvement may reduce the cost and/or time to retrofit, and/or improve the quality of the retrofit solution to the social housing providers and their tenants. The Retrofit Innovation Challenge will support social landlords who are looking for improved whole house retrofit solutions to particular housing archetypes in their portfolio but will also support social landlords who are interested in improving particular elements of the retrofit solution too, such as those who may have challenges related to the external insulation system and its installation, or who may want to explore improved low carbon heating systems, or storage solutions; or who may want to look at how to apply low carbon heating systems to multi occupancy dwellings, or at street level.CPV: 09300000, 09300000, 09323000, 42511110, 45320000, 45321000, 71310000, 71314000, 71314200, 71314300, 71315100, 71315200, 71315210, 73000000, 75200000, 79415200, 85322000, 90713000, 39715000, 39717200, 39721300, 39721310, 39721400, 39721411, 42131110, 42510000, 42515000, 44115200, 44620000, 45232140, 45251000, 45259300, 45315000, 45331000, 50720000, 71314310, 71321200.
