Background

About Peter McBride

I work primarily with housing providers and developers to future-proof their buildings with smarter, data-driven hot water systems that lower bills, reduce emissions, and boost EPC scores. With 26+ years across sales, energy systems, and building services, I’ve grown from field engineer to national sales director combining hands-on technical expertise with strategic leadership. This journey means I understand both the challenges on-site and the commercial decisions in the boardroom. As a Net Zero housing consultant and SHDF retrofit sales lead, I deliver scalable, low-disruption upgrades in both retrofit and new build environments. I’ve: Secured multi-million-pound retrofit trials aligned with SHDF goals. Helped housing associations achieve SAP band C or above across thousands of homes. Built and led national teams, driving EPC uplift strategies and embedding compliance into delivery. My role is to bridge regulatory targets with real-world implementation. Whether it’s heat pump-ready specifications, low-carbon technology partnerships, or SAP/EPC strategy, I ensure solutions are technically sound, commercially viable, and future-proof. For example: I have supported large housing associations to cut emissions by up to 73% through retrofit trials demonstrating how innovation can scale with measurable impact. Looking ahead, I’m focused on Future Homes Standard 2025, heat networks, and IoT-enabled energy systems, ensuring clients stay ahead of compliance while improving tenant outcomes.
