Insulation Illusion: How the Rebound Effect Undermines Fabric First

Will you agree with Nigel and Michael? Plenty of people have reacted to Michael and Nigel's thoughts on electrification over fabric. In this episode Nigel probes Michael on his recent article on the 'Fabric First trap' which covers studies from multiple countries showing that insulating first creates a 'comfort-driven rebound' and that only electrification effectively side steps by directly targeting carbon emissions. Michael suggests that policy and regulation needs to focus on electrification, with fabric improvements in a supporting role. It's a meshwork corker!
