Smart Carbon
Turbo Boost Your SHDF Strategic Partnership Bid with Digitally Enhanced Carbon Credits
PNZ Carbon and Knauf Energy Solutions (KES) have joined forces to support social housing to deliver better outcomes from their SHDF Wave 3 Programmes.

What Smart Carbon Offers
Additional Funding

Lower Bills for Tenants
Get the real data to demonstrate that a move to low carbon heating, such as heat pumps, has actually reduced heating costs for tenants.
Proven Outcomes
Ensure your projects actually deliver the promised energy and carbon savings through real time data driven validation of the energy performance outcomes.
Comfort Insights
Make sure you have a clear view of the impact of renovations on indoor comfort issues such as humidity and indoor temperatures.
Right Sizing
Know the actual energy demand of each home before and after renovation, helping you choose the right low carbon heating system that fits with the right retrofit strategy.
Future Proofing
Understand the actual performance of different renovation programmes, so as to be able to make better decisions in the future.
How Does Smart Carbon Work
Smart Carbon brings together the KES SMETER (Smart Meter Enabled Thermal Efficiency Ratings) digital solution with PNZ Carbon’s voluntary carbon credit programme.
​
The KES SMETER – combining smart sensors to remotely capture data in the home and proprietary algorithms, the KES SMETER delivers a highly accurate1 view of the actual thermal performance of a home’s fabric, before and after renovation, and its heating system, whether that be a gas boiler or heat pump.
​​
​
PNZ Carbon Credits – based on the commercial demand for transparent, localised carbon credits, PNZ Carbon delivers additional funding based on the carbon emissions that have been saved from the retrofit of British homes.
​

Mission
THE WORLD NEEDS ONE COUNTRY TO NOW TAKE A LEADERSHIP ROLE AND IMPLEMENT PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE

Performance Made Simple
KES and PNZ Carbon make the journey to real carbon and energy savings as simple as possible.
​
Our sensors are small, discreet and easy to install - typical install time is less than 1 hour. Our trained installer teams, manage the whole process from tenant engagement, through GDPR consent to install, making the process as comfortable as possible for both social housing and tenants.
​
As the data on the real performance and carbon savings of the retrofit is captured by the KES SMETER solution, the carbon credits are directly assessed – no need for any difficult admin or other proof that the credits have been generated.
Join Others
Across the UK and in Europe, social housing companies are already seeing the benefits of both accessing carbon credits and understanding the actual performance of retrofits.
Whether due to having better data to help select the right heat pumps for the right homes or being able to deliver a deeper retrofit due to additional funding, KES and PNZ Carbon are supporting social housing to deliver to a low carbon housing stock, in reality.
