Decarbonisation of Housing Stock in Wales  

CBC worked with the Welsh Governments Decarbonisation Advisory Group (DAG) to develop recommendations for policy to make all owner-occupied housing stock in Wales carbon neutral by 2050. A combination of Behavioural Systems Mapping and the Behaviour Change Wheel framework was used to create policy recommendations which took account of the complex influences on home-owners’ retrofit behaviours.
