The webinar explored how carbon credits could offer financial incentives to contractors and organisations who installed renewable energy systems and implemented energy efficiency improvements in residential buildings. Participants gained a comprehensive understanding of the carbon credit system, its operational mechanisms, and the substantial financial benefits it offered for emission-reducing home improvement projects.
Attendees learned how contractors could pursue compensation for qualified work completed after July 2022, encompassing both social housing and private residential properties. The session detailed the process of utilising carbon credits to enhance the accessibility and profitability of retrofitting, ensuring that emission reduction efforts were acknowledged and rewarded.
The webinar thoroughly examined the eligibility requirements for various energy efficiency measures and renewable technologies, emphasising their impact on lowering emissions and the associated value generated through carbon credits. Key topics discussed included carbon credit ownership rights, the necessary information for claim submissions, and the potential revenue that could be realised.
The session provided attendees with a clear grasp of how to optimise the financial and environmental advantages of carbon credits within their residential retrofit projects.
