Investment Grade Proposals for Portfolio Retrofit

City Science将开发和测试首个此类工具，用于提供“投资组合重组的投资级建议”。这一工具背后的核心理念是帮助打破可扩展改造的一些关键障碍，并加快英国建筑存量的脱碳。绿色金融研究所记录的主要障碍包括：*对改造措施的好处缺乏确定性*缺乏导致高额前期成本的激励措施我们建议的工具通过以下方式解决这些障碍：*利用高度证据的、数据驱动的方法来提供关于改造措施好处所需的确定性。*通过提供关于财务、环境和社会投资回报的确定性来释放获得资金的机会。*提供最能满足各方需求的解决方案在这场竞争的第一阶段，我们开发并测试了我们的提议的技术和商业可行性以及用户的接受度。在第二阶段中，我们将通过与大型投资组合所有者和经理以及供应链合作，在真实环境中测试我们的解决方案。

City Science will develop and test a first of it's kind tool for providing "Investment Grade Proposals for Portfolio Retrofit". The core idea behind this tool is to help break down some of the key barriers to scalable retrofit and accelerate the decarbonisation of the UK building stock. Key barriers, as recorded by the Green Finance Institute include:* The lack of certainty in the benefits of retrofit measures* A lack of incentives to incur the high upfront costsOur proposed tool addresses these barriers by:* Utilising a highly evidenced, data driven approach to provide the required certainty around the benefits of retrofit measures.* Unlocking access to finance by providing certainty around financial, environmental, and social return on investment.* Providing solutions which best satisfy the needs of all partiesIn phase 1 of this competition we developed and tested the technical and commercial feasibility of our proposal as well as it user acceptability. Within phase 2 we will test our solution in a real-world environment through collaboration with large portfolio owners and managers, as well as the supply chain.
