🏠 Real estate is one of biggest carbon emitting industries – and it’s amongst the slowest to decarbonise. For the UK’s targets of Net Zero by 2050 to be met, things have to start changing. But energy efficiency upgrades are widely seen as costly, challenging and low-priority. We’ve partnered with Kamma because we believe that, for the UK’s landlords, energy efficiency upgrades offer a real opportunity, one we’re committed to making it easy for them to enjoy🤝 Read our latest blog to learn more about why investment in energy efficiency improvements makes great business sense. 💡 And learn more about how you can use Kamma’s Retrofit Explorer to find real, actionable insights into boosting efficiency – and adding value – across your portfolio. https://bit.ly/3y7z2k4
