Home insulation / energy efficiency: very good to see that floor insulation is acknowledged as one of the best options to consider in The Telegraph article, written by Jenny Tucker. Please visit our website - www.q-bot.co - to learn how our floor insulation technology, using robotics and AI, can increase a home's energy efficiency, as well as reduce noise and the harmful effects of damp and mould. Our floor insulation is being installed in over 100 homes every month with building ventilation and building safety at the heart of our work. https://lnkd.in/ejRwqPsu

Super news that Professor Peter Childs, our co-founder (with Tom Lipinski), has received this accolade from the International Council of Design. Wonderful!

Welcome news today from the National Wealth Fund, Barclays UK and Lloyds Banking Group to release £1bn of funding to accelerate social housing retrofit in the UK. Under the retrofit funding plan, the two banks will each deliver £500m of lending, backed by guarantees of up to £750m provided by the National Wealth Fund. There's momentum building behind a retrofit revolution..... News article by Stephen Delahunty for Inside Housing. https://lnkd.in/ek3PFc4C

In an interview with Future net zero, Margaret Read - Director of Policy at the National Infrastructure Commission - had this to say about energy efficiency: "it's a vital part of the decarbonisation equation". Stressing the importance of insulation, Margaret said: “not only will insulation reduce costs, particularly for vulnerable customers, but it also means that heat pumps run more efficiently in those homes.” From our work, where we are deploying our floor insulation (using robotics and AI) alongside heat pumps, we have seen heat pump running cost reductions by as much as 30%.

News today that mortgage lenders have written to Rt Hon Rachel Reeves proposing a Stamp Duty ‘rebate to renovate’ that would incentivise homeowners to improve the energy performance of their homes. Leaky homes account for 35% of UK energy demand. We warmly welcome the proposal, driven by the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) and the Energy Efficiency Infrastructure Group.

Thanks for the literal and metaphorical platform Juliette, and Climate Connection. I love this monthly event in London, have learned so much from the speakers and participants over the last 18 months since Henry introduced me to it, and was honoured to have the opportunity to share the 'Why' behind all we do at Q-Bot Ltd to improve comfort, health and energy efficiency of drafty UK homes.

Good afternoon LinkedIn! It was wonderful to have Wates Group in the house today, speaking on how we can help with attracting young people in to the Built Environment, how we can help to develop their knowledge and confidence for the working world, and a chance to showcase our Robotic technology to the masses! Thanks to Jamie Clancy-Toomey and Louis Bienaime for popping by, glad you loved the tech, the office and the croissants and OJ (an equally important element to the visit)! Thanks to Q-Botter Tim Glew for hosting, a definite energy-match with Jamie! 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️ We look forward to having you back to our Oval HQ in the near-future, with the future workforce in tow, to see (and 'experience') our Technology first-hand! Cheers all! 🤖 🏠 ♻️

How do you increase your chances of being successful with a WH:SHF application? Q-Bot have been supporting clients with property analysis, data insights and under floor insulation installations through all phases of previous government funded #retrofit schemes, and are here to support you through the planning and delivery of your application. Accurate property data, helps to support success bids, and improve the effectiveness of delivery in a number of ways including; ·      Identifying suitable and similar archetypes ·      Improving resident engagement ·      Reducing unnecessary surveys and property visits ·      Facilitating area-based delivery, at scale Property data is recognised as being inconsistent, and often unreliable. Whilst two thirds of UK homes have an EPC certificate, many are inaccurate, and this is particularly prevalent in floor construction type records. Suspended timber flooring was the predominant construction methodology for floors up to the 1960’s. Many homes built after 1919 have a mixture of both suspended timber and solid concrete floors, and this is not necessarily reflected in an EPC. Combined with a third of homes having no EPC, it is easy to appreciate that knowledge of property archetypes with suspended timber floors is limited. Q-Bot recognised the need to help property owners identify the construction type of their buildings’ floors, and the value of more accurate data when planning retrofit projects, and we have developed an analysis methodology to help landlords enrich their knowledge of their housing stock.

Built different 🏘️ 🏡 🏗️ 🏢 Greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment constitute 20% of the total emissions we produce in the UK annually. We need to reduce the environmental impact of our buildings - it's a huge challenge, which has led to a flourishing, highly innovative built environment startup sector developing cutting-edge solutions across the supply chain. So, what's the plan to harness this innovation and decarbonise this sector? Check out Startup Coalition's latest report 👉 https://lnkd.in/etC4zD5N "This sector is a national asset... If these startups are let loose on the challenge of decarbonising the built environment, we will not just accelerate climate action in the sector, but scale solutions that can then be exported across the globe to decarbonise the built environment everywhere. To unlock this opportunity we must set the sector up for success with policies that work." Featuring brilliant startups at the forefront of this sector including some supported by Undaunted's accelerators!
