- In this paper, a ‘before-and-after’ survey design and analysis is deliberated aiming to inform and improve the uptake and delivery of future retrofit initiatives using one of the pilot CESP schemes in England as a case study. Overall, the CESP proved to be an innovative programme which applied a number of policy features, where the lessons learned have undoubtedly influenced the design of the successor programme, the Energy Companies Obligation scheme (ECO) and supported the agenda setting of other retrofit programmes, both at national and international levels. The research was used as a springboard for further research on studying the retrofit of tower blocks as a different but common building typology in England.
