Building Renovation Passports
Built for the environment, Addressing the climate and biodiversity emergency with a fair and sustainable built environment, published by the RIBA in September 2021, states: ‘Building Renovation Passports are digital tools to help property owners access decision-useful information to retrofit their home. They provide information on the current energy performance of a property, past renovations. They are underpinned by a long-term retrofit roadmap that identifies future decarbonisation measures, along with links to contractors and finance options.’
