BEHAVE conference
Helen and Jonathan from Carbon Co-op attended the Behave conference in September, hosted at the Said Business School in Oxford. Behave 2014 was the third European conference on behaviour and energy efficiency. This year's theme was 'Paradigm Shift: From Energy Efficiency to Energy Reduction through Social Change.'
The conference was an opportunity to present some of the initial findings of the Carbon Co-op whole house retrofit project. Presenting in a group focused on community energy programmes, Helen and Jonathan delivered a presentation based on a paper written for the conference: 'Using Carbon Co-op’s 'Community Green Deal' programme as a case study to examine how widely quoted barriers to whole house retrofit can be overcome by a community energy co-operative and what further challenges to wider uptake exist.'
