This SHIFT roundtable session took place on the 15th March 2022 and included social landlords representing tens of thousands of UK homes. The summary focuses primarily on points raised during the roundtable discussion. A more comprehensive guide to decarbonisation can be found here.
The key points of discussion were:
- Emerging Government net zero pathways
- Definitions of net zero
- Key dates and milestones
- Costs – data – monitoring progress
SHIFT Net Zero roadmap methodology

Net Zero targets and definitions
What is a Net Zero housing stock? There is currently no formal definition. However, the broad pathway is:
- All current homes brought up to EPC C (i.e. well insulated)
- Switching to electric heating
- Grid decarbonised to net zero
- All new homes to be net zero
At SHIFT we estimate a net zero housing stock to have an average SAP of 85 by 2050
