an easy-to-read infographic entitled ‘A Window of Opportunity’ to highlight the difference glazing can make. This is the document we presented to government.” Four members of the GGF including Ben Wallace, Group Head of Membership & Customer Relations at the GGF, David Borland, Head of GGF Technical, John Agnew, Group Managing Director at the GGF, and Natalie Little, President at the GGF, attended the meeting to present the facts. Natalie Little continues: “We successfully highlighted to government that the research calculates a significant 80 million windows would benefit from
immediate replacement, saving as much C02 as taking 1.88 million cars off the road. We were also able to demonstrate the timely cost saving benefit to individuals as the research estimates the average annual saving per household for upgrading windows to current standards at £395. The ‘Window of Opportunity’ Document leaves little room for scepticism about the impact of glazing on carbon emissions, but we will continue to support the industry by gathering and collating the facts and presenting them to the people that have the power to make a change.” Research Report Pages 24 & 25

Despite the fact 86% of homes already have double glazing (the government’s previous argument for excluding the sector from the Energy Company Obligation (ECO+) Scheme), we all know that this isn’t the full story. For example, seventy per cent of windows installed since 2002 were C rated and so don’t meet the building standards relevant today.

In a bid to effect change by continuing to lobby government, four members of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) attended a meeting at Number 10 with Rishi Sunak’s Political Adviser, Ameet Jogia, MBE, to discuss the role of glazing in reducing the nation’s carbon emissions.
