Upgrading homes to meet Net Zero and EPC targets

Local Authorities

With Net Zero goals for your region and EPC targets for any housing stock you have, the retrofit challenge will be a significant part of your sustainability programmes. But budgets are limited for Local Authorities and homeowners, and there are many older homes that can be difficult to retrofit due to their design and construction.

AirEx Floorvent is a smart, cost-effective solution that enhances energy efficiency without intrusive work. It helps local authorities meet decarbonisation targets with minimal disruption to residents and at lower costs than most measures.

Floorvent replaces traditional air bricks with intelligent airflow control. It reduces heat loss while maintaining essential ventilation. Homes stay warmer, energy bills drop, and SAP scores improve by 2–4 points, making it easier to uplift EPC ratings.

Many social housing residents hesitate to accept retrofit measures due to concerns over disruption or unclear benefits, and homeowners are looking for affordable and non-intrusive solutions too. Floorvent is quick to install, non-intrusive, and works automatically. It improves home comfort while preventing underfloor damp and condensation.

The lack of disruption means installers and retrofit contractors can deliver upgrades smoothly, ensuring high resident engagement and satisfaction while helping deliver home improvements, energy bill savings and decarbonisation targets.

Maximising budget impact with funding support

Local authorities must balance retrofit goals with tight budgets. AirEx Floorvent delivers big energy savings at a fraction of the cost of major retrofit measures. It’s a budget-friendly, high-impact solution that is eligible for Local Grant, Social Housing Fund and ECO4 programmes in your region. Floorvent enables cost-effective upgrades without complex installations or high disruption, making large-scale retrofit programmes easier to deliver.

As a simple to install measure, it’s easy for local installers to adopt. As it’s a new measure addressing a forgotten area of homes we have seen our installer customers grow their businesses and create jobs through installing AriEx Floorvent.

It’s also easy for energy efficiency advice centres and fuel poverty support teams to easily explain the benefits to residents and homeowners, encouraging acceptance and adoption. One of our customers, the managing agent for a regional fuel poverty scheme, says that for homes where they can’t do any other measures, they can almost always fit Floorvent. This can help both funding and homeowners budgets go further and experience the energy saving and comfort benefits quickly.
