Birmingham City Council LAD3 Retrofit
Project name: Birmingham City Council LAD3 Retrofit
Client: Birmingham City Council
Contractor: Dodd Group
Value: £5 million
Utilising the LAD3 funding stream, Birmingham City Council (BCC) identified two postcodes with a high percentage of properties likely to meet the poor-EPC rating and low-income criteria. Working as a subject matter expert for BCC, and alongside Acivico and Action on Energy we collaborated on a resident engagement programme to promote the opportunity and answer questions.
The following retrofit workstreams are included in the programme:
- External Doors & Window Upgrades
- Loft/room-in-roof insulation
- External/Internal/Cavity Wall Insulation
- Ventilation Strategy
- PV Roof panels
- LED Light Upgrades
- High Heat Retention Storage Heaters (HHRSH)
- Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) –completed alongside fabric retrofit workstreams to maximise energy efficiency
Due to the complex, exacting and prescriptive nature of the route to funding, and our experience on previous LAD2 schemes, we employed a dedicated Project Process Manager with prior experience in government funding processes. They ensured all requirements were met during the various work stages, with Trustmark lodgement achieved and funding fully secured upon completion of the works. This attention also ensures we capture all required information whilst at a resident's home, negating a revisit.
