Wednesday 21 Sept 2022: How do I retrofit my home... and why is it such a good idea?
17% of the UK's carbon emissions come from buildings. With the energy cap rising and inflation soaring, inefficient energy use in our homes is an expensive problem as well as a contributor to the climate crisis.
Bristol's housing stock has plenty of beautiful old buildings. Often with little insulation, single glazing and all manner of cracks and gaps, these are unfailing poor energy users.
Which is where retrofitting comes in. Upgrading the fabric of our homes to reduce their carbon footprint, and make them cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in.
Undertaking any kind of home improvement can be daunting. Whether you have heard of retrofitting or are new to the concept, our expert speakers will help show you the path forwards.
Rachel Moffat from the Bristol Energy Network will talk about the need for retrofitting and how to get started on a domestic retrofit. Alison Cawley of First Thermal and the C.H.E.E.S.E. Project will discuss thermal energy surveys and how they can help plan and prioritise a retrofit project.
We hope you can join us for a wealth of retrofitting expertise.
Please reserve your free ticket through Eventbrite or Facebook.
