This project seeks to address the retrofitting and future-fitting buildings in Oxford(shire) through insetting: working title 'FutureFit Area Based Insetting (FABI)'. FABI was conceptualised from the final feasibility report findings from the 'FutureFit One Stop Shop FOSS' project.A FutureFit building is one that has been transformed into its own resilient and flexible energy system. Retrofit implements fabric and energy efficiency, FutureFit takes this a step further to include smart, interoperable generation, storage and control measures. FutureFit is the next step after retrofit and will need to be fully developed outside of the FABI project.59% of Oxford's emissions come from our building stock and the Phase 1 report identified finance for retrofit as a key non-technical barrier. Therefore developing a solution (through insetting) to fund retrofit of buildings and reduce carbon emissions is a key milestone to locally accelerate decarbonisation.However, the city faces significant challenges in decarbonising buildings. Oxford is small and sits in the most rural County in the south of England, with little critical mass available to attract large-scale interventions and investment; its supply-chain is small and fragmented; and it has a very diverse but old building stock.A key barrier identified to be overcome is the challenge SMEs face accessing finance, particularly in current climate of high inflation and energy bills. Our investigation of models to unlock private investment and found significant strengths of FABI for Oxford(shire). This work would build on an existing local vibrant innovation ecosystem in Oxfordshire around carbon and energy issues, and also on our strong track record of attracting funding.Area Based Insetting (ABI), also known as Authority Based Insetting is an alternative to traditional carbon offsetting and insetting. It provides funding for carbon reduction projects, but (unlike traditional offsetting), it ensures that the value of the project funding is retained locally to provide benefit to the local economy and community.For OxfordCC to adopt this innovative facility, a trial period is now required to ensure proof of concept, to develop the internal administrative architecture necessary to enable ABI in Oxford, to develop a pipeline of 'ABI ready' projects, and to engage potential project funders.Establishing FABI will result in a step change in retrofit delivery by attracting private investment for projects that would not otherwise go ahead and by developing a self-sustaining delivery model for local FutureFit One Stop Shops (FOSSs).

该项目旨在通过嵌入来解决牛津（郡）的改造和未来装修建筑：工作名称为“基于嵌入的未来适应区域（FABI）”。FABI是根据“FutureFit一站式福斯”项目的最终可行性报告结果而概念化的。FutureFit建筑是一个已经转变为自己的弹性和灵活的能源系统的建筑。Retrofit实现了织物和能源效率，FutureFit更进一步，包括智能，可互操作的发电，存储和控制措施。FutureFit是改造后的下一步，需要在FABI项目之外充分开发。牛津59%的排放来自我们的建筑存量，第一阶段报告将改造资金确定为关键的非技术障碍。因此，开发一种解决方案（通过嵌入）来资助建筑物改造和减少碳排放是当地加速脱碳的一个重要里程碑。然而，该市在建筑物脱碳方面面临着重大挑战。牛津很小，位于英格兰南部最偏远的郡，没有足够的资源来吸引大规模的干预和投资;其供应链很小，而且很分散;它有一个非常多样化但很旧的建筑群。我们对解锁私人投资的模型进行了调查，发现了牛津大学（郡）FABI的显著优势。这项工作将建立在牛津郡现有的围绕碳和能源问题的当地充满活力的创新生态系统之上，也建立在我们吸引资金的良好记录之上。基于区域的嵌入（ABI），也称为基于权威的嵌入，是传统碳抵消和嵌入的替代方案。它为碳减排项目提供资金，（与传统的抵消不同），它确保了项目资金的价值在当地保留，为当地经济和社区提供利益。对于牛津CC采用这种创新设施，现在需要一个试验期，以确保概念验证，开发必要的内部行政架构，以使ABI在牛津，建立FABI将通过吸引私人投资来推动原本无法进行的项目，并通过为当地FutureFit一站式服务（FOSS）开发一种自我维持的交付模式，从而在改造交付方面实现一个阶段性变化。
