We need volunteers to show members of the public round the houses and answer questions they may have.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the future of green energy!

You will receive training from Carbon Co-op's technical partners URBED about whole house retrofit to prepared for the event. The houses will be diverse, showcasing different retrofitted technologies such as external wall insulation, new windows and doors, efficient heating systems, solar panels, wood burning stoves and more.

The event will be running from 10am to 4pm, times will be confirmed closer to the dates. Don't worry if you can only attend one day or just for a few hours, you are still welcome to get involved!
