As part of Low Carbon Homes’ Greater Manchester’s Retrofit Action Week, Energy Saving Trust will be hosting an inspiring online event Retrofit now!
It’s well reported that we need to ramp up home energy improvements if we are to meet net zero targets set out by the UK government. At this event, we’ll explore how we can support organisations to play their role in supporting homeowners through two themes:
- What help do organisations need to accelerate home energy upgrades?
- What’s preventing consumers from implementing home energy efficiency measures?
Jamie Browne, senior business development manager at Energy Saving Trust will host the event and we have a panel of experts from different sectors to give their view and answer your questions. The panel will include representatives from B&Q, Lloyds Banking Group, Trustmark and North East Combined Authority.
