Support with reviewing your housing stock data and prioritisation
We have an upcoming Masterclass on reviewing your asset data which is available to book onto now. This free, online session is taking place on 19 March at 2pm. It will cover best practices for reviewing your existing asset data, consolidating multiple sources, and rationalising your datasets to improve efficiency and strategic planning.
RISE’s Data, stock assessment and incremental retrofit Masterclass explores data principles, governance and processes. This Masterclass explores the idea of incremental retrofit across your housing stock, and how this phased approach can work. Watch now.
The Data and product identification Masterclass is led by RISE colleague Dan Leeming, who walks through the different software products that are available to help you manage your data. Watch now.
The RISE Data for retrofit projects toolkit will provide you with practical tools to help you develop good practices around your housing stock data. It will help you to build the quality of your data and support you to make good decisions and prioritisation of which homes you’ll target with which retrofit measures. Read more.
In the episode of the RISE podcast about data and large scale retrofit, Sarah Daly from the RISE team is joined by Stewart Little CEO and founder of IRT Surveys. A subject that is often misunderstood, misinterpreted, and poorly managed, data is also a vital part of successful programmes. This podcast explores what data is required, where and how to get it, and how to manage it for the duration of your retrofit programmes. Listen here.
Planning your retrofit interventions
The Planning your retrofit interventions Masterclass sees RISE Principal Consultant Emma Woods explore why planning your retrofit interventions carefully, with a strong awareness of your housing stock, and a flexible approach can lead to the best outcomes. Watch now.
The Developing your retrofit interventions Knowledge Hub article starts with reviewing your housing stock, its type and condition, and leads to a plan for what you want to do with the stock to improve its energy efficiency and its performance. The goal is to create a specific project targeting a named set of buildings, with a practical series of retrofit measures that will deliver outcomes that meet your strategic objectives, including the needs of any external funders.
