SUMMARY:Beginner's Guide to Retrofit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person training session on retrofit – perfect for householders interested in retrofit.\n\n\nWelcome to the Beginner’s Guide to Retrofit and Heat Camera training! \nJoin us at St Margarets Centre (on Brantingham Road) for an in-person event where you’ll learn all about the basics of retrofitting your home. \nWe will help you establish a basic understanding of eco-renovation and how you might go about planning to make your home warmer\, more comfortable and that little bit greener whilst reducing bills. \nWe’ll discuss both DIY and contractor-led approaches\, this is very much a starting point for retrofit rather than an in-depth discussion of the technical aspects but we will be introducing a new support programme with follow on training and assistance. \nWe’ll end the with some tips on how you can tell friends and neighbours about what you’ve learnt about retrofit. \nSuitable for people thinking about or actively planning retrofit improvements. \nLess suitable for social housing tenants who are reliant on their housing provider to make these changes. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of Energise Manchester\, a 2 year programme of advice\, support and assistance delivered by Carbon Co-op in partnership with People Powered Retrofit\, to help people in South Manchester plan and carry out energy improvements to their homes. \nEnergise Manchester is part of the Local Energy Advice Demonstrator programme\, funded by the UK Government Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

SUMMARY:Heat Pump Community Energy Knowledge Sharing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A webinar for community energy groups on advising householders on the basics on what to look for in procuring air source heat pumps.\n\n\nDomestic heat pumps are a key technology for supporting UK decarbonisation targets\, but there are many misconceptions about how they work and how people can live well with a heat pump.  \nCommunity energy groups are uniquely placed to support householders with heat pump adoption\, through unbiased advice and guidance. \nWhat will the workshop entail? \nIn this best practice webinar\, we will hear from Carbon Co-op Project Officer Marlo High and People Powered Retrofit Training Manager Sandy Rushton on how community energy groups can support householders when procuring heat pumps. \nWe will share our findings from research with householders about specifying\, installing\, and living with heat pumps and help you consider how your community organisation can integrate heat pump advice and support into your existing services. \nThe workshop will consist of a presentation and Q&A lasting one hour\, followed by a 30-minute workshop where attendees will take part in an exercise to start identifying the needs of their service users on the topic of heat pumps. \nThe session will be recorded and made available after the event. \nWho is this workshop for? \nThis is aimed at people who work for UK community energy groups\, who have contact with householders or are responsible for managing services. \nYou don’t need in-depth technical knowledge of heat pumps but a bit of basic working knowledge would help. \nOther information \nThis workshop forms part of Carbon Co-op’s Heat Pump Challenge project funded by MCS Charitable Foundation and Electricity North West Powering our Communities Fund. It is free but we accept donations to support our work. \nThis has been organised in collaboration with People Powered Retrofit.
