Around 29 million British homes require retrofitting by 2050 , according to the UK Green Building Council .

Retrofitting might involve improving your home’s insulation, upgrading the heating system, or installing energy-generating devices such as solar panels.

Experts might advise on the suitability of solar panels for your home, for example.

HubbPro , which helps architects plan energy efficient buildings, has noticed a gap in the market.

Founder James Major is now offering architects detailed reports that estimate the carbon reduction potential and payback period on retrofitted measures.

He says these reports cost around 1,000 , though he adds that this price is not yet finalised.
