= Introduction =

[https://www.householdsdeclare.org/ Households Declare!] is an initiative that was developed in August 2021 by the activists group, Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN!). It was established as a network of UK households that are ready to declare a climate emergency.

Members of Households Declare acknowledge the extent of the problem caused by emissions from existing homes in the UK that are amongst the least energy efficient in Europe. Further, the organisation states that homes currently being built would not satisfy standard requirements to meet zero carbon targets (that emissions from heating and powering these homes must be reduced to zero by 2050).

A central motivating factor for members of Households Declare is the push to retrofit those components within homes that may contribute to climate change.

The understanding is that by modernising systems and equipment with more efficient materials, products and technologies, these improvements will reduce the amount of energy needed to occupy that building. They may also contribute to improvements in comfort and general health.

Possible retrofit considerations under Households Declare include:

* Chimney decommissioning.
* Double and triple glazing.
* Ground floor insulation.
* Ground source heating.
* Hot water tanks.
* Induction cookers.
* Loft insulation.
* Room ventilation and heat recovery.
* Solar panels.
* Temperature controls
* Wall insulation.

The financial obstacles some households may face when investing in retrofits is one of the key issues of Households Declare. Members of the organisation are calling on the Government to create a tangible plan to limit the country’s emissions in a manner that takes these financial parameters into account. Additionally, the plan should not exclude households unable to pay or push people into fuel poverty.

Through a petition to Alok Sharma (who has been appointed UK President for COP 26), members of the group are signing a letter that urges the Government to be held accountable for promises it made to build back better and establish a green recovery. Central to the organisation’s demands is a national retrofit strategy, including a clear roadmap to a zero carbon future. The organisation plans to deliver the letter in October 2021.
