Remaining potential A key use of these estimates for DECC is to identify homes that have the potential to receive cavity wall, loft and solid wall insulation in the future. The section below outlines remaining potential figures as at the end of September 2014, for historical figures and a more detailed breakdown see Tables 2.3 to 2.7 in the accompanying this publication. Table 2.3 and Chart 2.6 give a summary of the remaining potential for insulating the housing stock in Great Britain.
