**TUPROOFS** will create an energy generating highly insulating and easy to install, quality controlled, factory made roof that generates enough renewable (zero carbon) energy to power the home and export excess electricity while preventing energy loss upwards through the roof. TUPROOFS is a key breakthrough product enabling an active solar roof where energy yield repays the capital costs plus dividend, attractive to owner/occupiers/private and social landlords, driving widespread employment and COVID-19 recovery. It also conforms to the Construction Innovation Hub platform and will be compatible with other elements being developed in the technical area. We expect TUPROOFS roofs will become one of the elements of the Midland High Growth \[MHG\] initiative being promoted by the West Midlands Combined Authorities, a group of local authorities with the aim of applying deep retrofit to dwellings across their area. It will help to eliminate fuel poverty while making homes more comfortable and driving energy use down to energy neutrality and zero carbon. ACTL and the project partners are proud to be associated with the MHG initiative where senior executives from several large local companies and charities are being seconded to the initiative to improve life and living standards across the Midlands and drive industrial recovery from COVID-19 in a socially inclusive and green way. We are excited that by delivering deep retrofit initially in the Midlands where we can help demonstrate the benefits. We believe the systems will be diffused across the UK and ultimately deliver deep retrofit to the 25 million homes in the UK that currently buy approximately £34 Billion worth of energy when their net energy purchase could be around zero. If widely adopted the number of people employed by deep retrofit will be in the 100s of thousands and help the UK emerge from the COVID-19 crisis. At the same time we'll prepare the ground work for new off-site manufacturing in new factories with new rapid on-site deep retrofit construction technologies bringing new employment into areas where there was already high unemployment even before the pandemic. The project will develop and install two prototype TUPROOFS roofs during the 9 months of the project to demonstrate their efficiency and efficacy and work with partners Hadley Group, NCC, MHG, BIPVco and Go Monitor to prepare outline designs for the creation of large scale production as the project successfully demonstrates the benefits of the TUPROOFS roof.

Most people think of fuel poverty as simply not being able to afford to keep your home warm. The official definition is; a household is said to be fuel poor if it has above-average energy costs, and if paying those costs would push it below the poverty line as far as its remaining income was concerned. One of the key factors that can contribute to fuel poverty is that the poor energy efficiency of the property (and therefore, the energy required to heat and power the home). This can be due to a lack of insulation (walls and roofs), draughts, poor ventilation, dampness or inefficient heating systems. Local Authorities in the South East of England generally have below average fuel poverty levels, while households in the North West, London and the West Midlands generally have the highest levels of fuel poverty. (Department for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy -- Fuel Poverty Supplementary Tables 2020) The West Midlands elected mayor has an ambition to aggregate local authority social housing stock to tackle 50,000 homes by 2024\. DOORWAY is part of an innovative social house retrofit program that tackles both Fuel Poverty and emissions without the need for government subsidiary. This is achieved by a proportion of the energy savings achieved paying off the capital costs, regenerating some of Britain's most deprived areas, all funded by global green social finance to 'Build Back Better'. To ensure a creation of a new supply chain to meet this challenge Midlands High Growth has its own Exemplar factory and Skills Village ensuring other manufacturers can license their own DOORWAY automation lines or 'pop up factory' with full turn key support to create UK high value jobs, DOORWAY is a key breakthrough combination of products, attractive to owner/occupiers/private and social landlords, reducing fuel poverty whilst driving widespread new designed for 'COVID' safe employment opportunities aiding both economic recovery and reducing any future pandemic. Each house will have a 'building passport' created that ensures the DOORWAY solution will be compatible with other retrofit technologies to ensure that Net Zero carbon emissions can be reached by 2040\. One of the major challenges with a deep house retrofit is the length of time an occupant may have to vacate the property whilst the roof is taken off and replaced or while the walls are being re-bricked. The DOORWAY system will significantly reduce the disruption to the occupant with the roof being in place and water-tight within the same day and the walls lifted into place within two days. At the same time this also reduces the number of vans and lorries needed to attend site and the amount of rubbish that inevitably traditional methods create. DOORWAY will create highly efficient insulated and easy to install a Roof and an External Wall Insulations system that can be produced in volume off site, within a high-quality controlled environment that aligns to the governments Construction Innovation Hub standardised platform approach and aims to be 50% cheaper then equivalent market solutions.
