Sustainable social housing retrofit? Circular economy and tenant trade-offs

Emma Baker, Trivess Moore, Lyrian Daniel, Rachel Caines, Hector Padilla, Laurence Lester

This research examines the preferences and trade-offs of tenants during social housing retrofit programs, particularly in regard to implementing circular economy (CE) practices. The study looks beyond the relatively narrow consideration of energy efficiency, to respond to the broader requirements of the social housing sector—to incorporate and balance tenant needs with provider mandates, budgetary limitations, and wider social policy.
