Low Carbon Homes
In November we participated in the Low Carbon Homes event in Manchester, with Carbon Coop and the Lucy Pedlar from the Green Register, who are part of the BEIS funded retrofit supply chain project in Bristol with CSE.
The day was an oportunity for existing members of the low-carbon construction supply chain to come together and learn from each other, and also for new people to find out about the retrofit agenda. We presented some of our findings from our work so far on People Powered Retrofit, with our focus on a differentiated and householder-centred process provoking some interesting discussions.
Aneaka and Liam from Carbon Coop also ran a couple of workshops exploring 'fabric first' retrofit that was attended by a variety of designers, engineers and contractors. The heatpump expo that formed part of the day was very popular - showing the growing intreest and demand in this area, whilst another strand of the day looked at policy and what civil society, business and local authorities could do to progress towards 'zero carbon'.
