Investment Grade Proposals for Portfolio Retrofit

城市科学正在提议建立和测试它的第一个工具，提供“投资级投资组合改造建议”。该工具背后的核心思想是帮助打破可扩展改造的一些关键障碍，并加速英国建筑库存的脱碳。根据绿色金融研究所的记录，主要障碍包括：*改造措施的效益缺乏确定性*缺乏产生高额前期成本的激励措施我们提出的工具通过以下方式解决了这些障碍：*利用高度证明的数据驱动方法来提供有关改造措施效益所需的确定性。*通过提供金融、环境和社会投资回报的确定性，解锁融资渠道。*提供最能满足各方需要的解决方案在比赛的第一阶段，我们会发展和测试我们的建议在技术和商业上的可行性，以及用户的接受程度。在第2阶段，我们将测试我们的解决方案的一套广泛的现场试验建筑，以评估其可信度。

City Science are proposing to build 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 U.K. 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:* Utilizing 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 will develop and test the technical and commercial feasibility of our proposal as well as it user acceptability. Within phase 2 we would then test our solution of an extensive set of live trail buildings to assess it credibility.
