N2 - This study evaluates the viability of retrofitting a high-rise residential building in Newham, London, to replace natural gas heating with heat pump technology in line with the UK government's 2035 target for decarbonisation. The paper uses Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methodologies to assess seven retrofit scenarios involving various improvements to the building’s fabric and heating system, aiming to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The study considers factors such as capital cost, energy efficiency, running costs, and environmental impact.
