SuperHomes: Three Rivers is a project brought to you by the Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) and the National Energy Foundation (NEF).

The National Energy Foundation is an independent domestic energy and sustainable housing charity who have been at the forefront of improving the use of energy in buildings for more than 30 years. The SuperHomes project within NEF is a rapidly expanding network of energy-conscious homeowners who are redefining green living to create a positive change for the benefit of our planet and their own health and comfort. With Three Rivers District Council aiming to achieve net-zero emissions in the area by 2045, both parties are combining their efforts to help reduce the carbon footprint of domestic homes. 

The council, together with the National Energy Foundation (NEF) and Grand Union Community Energy (GUCE), were awarded £298,000 from the ‘Fast Followers’ funding from Innovate UK – the UK’s national innovation agency – which aims to advance local progress towards net-zero and help unlock the barriers to building a greener future. Three Rivers District Council and its partners are one of just 21 projects nationally to have been awarded the innovation funding following a competitive bid process.

As the 2050 net-zero goal set by the Government looms closer, it is increasingly important to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. The Government has announced that by 2035, it is likely that the majority of homes across the country will be unable to install a replacement gas boiler and will need to install a heat pump or other low carbon alternative. This deadline is pivotal due to the climate crisis we face today; any progress we can make toward a greener future is a step in the right direction.

In light of this, we encourage anyone who wishes to reduce their carbon footprint to join our retrofit project and take advantage of the financial support on offer. As we move closer to these deadlines, grant-funding may become harder to source, therefore getting involved early may be extremely beneficial in the long run.

By registering with the project, you’re eligible to receive access to qualified and accredited professionals, support regarding any home retrofit questions, a free HERO Plan, tailored advice and help identifying finance options to improve your home’s energy efficiency. As part of the project, you’ll also be part of our overall SuperHomes initiative, which is enabling UK homeowners to undertake retrofit.
