APSE Energy Webinar – Residents, energy and domestic improvement – what really drives take up?

Thursday 25 June 2026, 10:30am - 11:30am

Domestic energy efficiency is a fundamental element of our challenge to address the costs of heating our homes and transitioning to clean energy. Homes lose heat through walls, roofs and outdated heating systems, driving up bills. The technology exists to address these issues. By installing fully funded insulation, modern heating, and energy efficiency solutions, home retain heat, and residents remain warm and comfortable. These upgrades can significantly lower monthly energy costs, improve a home’s energy rating, and reduce environmental impacts.

Whether we call it ‘home improvement’ or ‘retrofit’, it is vital that we make the most of the schemes and funding that are available to local authorities to help our communities see investments in their homes.

But there is a process to go through from identifying who can qualify, installing the equipment and signing it off as fit for purpose – as well as dealing with people.

APSE Energy along with YES Energy Solutions is holding webinars to look at two important features - resident engagement and a whole‑process approach. 

In this webinar, we will cover the below:

Residents, energy and domestic improvement – what really drives take‑up?

• Why take‑up often falls short despite sound funding and technical design?
• Where resident engagement typically breaks down?
• What residents are actually concerned about, beyond the measures themselves?
• How early, impartial energy advice helps build trust, confidence and inclusion?

As well as the above, this will look at matters of behaviour, trust, communication and lived experience, the value of appropriate, accessible advice and knowing your audience.
