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.
