This autumn we have launched the pilot version of our People Powered Retrofit service with Carbon Coop. We've recruited Liam Schofield as PPR Service Manager and he's now working with a small number of householders and our pool of retrofit coordinators to help them along their retrofit journey. We're using this soft launch to test and further develop our offer to householders - and our intention is to continue to develop and improve our systems and services and integrate with elements like the Carbon Coop Hub. 

Obviously we can't get retrofit going without the builders, engineers, specialists and designers to carry out the work. So alongside the service, we've been building our knowledge of businesses doing retfit work in our area, what they neeed to do more, and how we can support them and put them in touch with householders looking to comission work - with Aneaka from Carbon Coop leading on this part of the project. We've carried out hands on training on air-tightness and insulation and held meetups with builders. We've got plans for more events in 2020 - if you'd like to know more, or let us know about what you're up to in retrofit, you can see a list of forthcoming events here and sign up to the People Powered Retrofit contact list here.
