Home Energy Training Programme

Tutor_cropped.jpg

It is possible to make radical reductions in home energy usage. Sadly, it's not always a simple or an easy process: technical expertise and planning is required, as well as specialist contractors, affordable finance, confidence, knowledge and patience!

Based on the experience of our members, we've put together this training programme to help others take the short cuts, benefitting from our expertise and the network of building professionals and experts we've built up over the years.

Training sessions from September 2017 to December 2018.

These sessions can be booked separately based on your needs and knowledge, but you may find it useful to work through sessions in a certain order, on the basis of where you are on your retrofit journey.
