Retrofit Market Drivers and S-G Knowledge Sharing

Retrofit Market Drivers

Strong underlying market demand but recent uncertainty around changing Government policies

• c.£35bn p.a. RMI market in domestic and commercial sectors

• New housing activity will generate RMI interest and growth

• Green Deal has been extremely slow to start but new incentives in place to stimulate insulation and heating measures for domestic sectors

• ECO cuts mid-period has halted energy company spending, especially in higher cost measures

Retrofit Funding Streams – an evolving landscape

Recent legislation has created a number of complementary, and competing, funding routes

ECO – Energy Company Obligation

Original CERO £760m p.a. cut by 33%

CSCO and HHCRO funding retained at c.

£540m p.a.ECO extended to 2017

Educating our brands – ECO/Green Deal training modules through ESKD Project Group

Webex-based modules explaining elements of Green Deal and ECO schemes – delivered by ESKD team members

• ESKD team from BG, Weber, Celotex, Isover, Glassolutions, and now Greenworks

• Content specifically designed to meet brand requirements

• Levels of knowledge from ‘An Introduction to’ to more technical elements, eg Carbon Scoring

• Has benefitted Commercial, Customer Service and Marketing teams

• Next modules now available to roll-out – new Green Deal Home Improvement Funds

Accredited Training and Quality Framework Support

Supporting our customer base – training and routes to competence

Supplementing existing product training portfolio with accredited training to Green Deal / ECO standards

• Installers require PAS2030 compliance to install energy efficiency measures attracting funding support

• S-G Habitat and Training teams quickly understood and mobilised to deliver accredited training courses

• System-specific training and site accreditation of operatives underpins guarantee schemes

• Represents a key element of customer and client retrofit proposition

Saint-Gobain Technical Academies and Greenworks training network

A market-leading network of facilities dedicated to delivering practical training

• Saint-Gobain Technical Academies, alongside Greenworks, offers unrivalled network of practical facilities

• Courses offered to meet PAS2030 requirements and can lead to NVQ qualifications in solid wall insulation

• A close relationship with CITB is resulting in S-G leading the market in developing recognised training leading to VQs

• Opportunity to draw down central funding for accredited courses

Colleges

Additional customer support

Completing the requirements for Green Deal and ECO compliance

• Habitat, Technical and Training teams worked to ensure: • Installer operatives are assessed on

site and can receive a system designer card

• Systems have full BBA certification ensuring compliance to Green Deal and Ofgem ECO requirements

• British Gypsum, Weber, Celotex and Isover solid wall insulation systems are members of the Solid Wall Insulation Guarantee Agency, providing 25 year guarantees for installed systems

Retrofit Trials and Integrated Solutions

In-situ performance and Integrating Saint-Gobain solutions

Trials to demonstrate how our systems perform• Energy Saving Trust solid

wall insulation field trials

• Six installations of internal and external wall insulation systems

• Some very good results and valuable learning for future trial projects

• Salford Energy House whole-house retrofit project

• Installation of Saint-Gobain retrofit fabric energy efficiency measures to solid wall e.o.t. in controlled environment

• Included BG IWI, Weber EWI, Isover loft and floor insulation and Glassolutions Planitherm

• Carried out with University of Salford, Leeds Metropolitan University and S-G Recherche

interfaces between systems (with S-G/Habitat R&D)

• New system technologies (R&D)

• Collaborative relationships in retrofit sector (eg TSB competition initiatives)

Retrofit Propositions and Future Habitat Opportunities

S-G Retrofit Proposition – unrivalled breadth of retrofit systems and support

Brands working together within Habitat strategy to identify and meet stakeholder requirements in evolving retrofit sector

Construction Products and Innovative Materials opportunities in Habitat retrofit sector

Habitat retrofit sector will continue to identify market drivers, support S-G brands and develop propositions to meet key stakeholder needs through collaborative working

• Educating brands through retrofit funding training modules (next round of training mid-May – GDHIF cashback scheme and devolved Govt incentives)

• Stakeholder engagement in Green Deal and Communities schemes through Saint-Gobain approach

• Development of CITB-approved accredited training modules delivered through SGTA/Greenworks network (and sourcing central funding)

• Further systems testing to determine S-G whole-house retrofit performance (continuation of Salford Energy House approach)

• Identify NPD opportunities for improved retrofit solutions

Building Distribution opportunities in Habitat retrofit sector

Habitat retrofit sector will develop collaborative working with SGBD brands to exploit new retrofit opportunities as retrofit incentives shift towards private sector

• Seeking buy-in of SGBD brands in Habitat collaborative approach to identifying and mobilising for retrofit opportunities

• Supporting Greenworks in rolling-out Green Deal/ECO Webex training modules to SGBD brands

• Support workshops for SGBD installers seeking GDI accreditation (a requirement for cashback incentives)

• Support the development of retrofit proposition for SGBD customers – accredited training and routes to competency, compliant guarantees, approved systems, marketing support, local stakeholder engagement support
