I blame the woeful energy performance of the UK’s 27 million homes on this ONE book... Not a single page on #insulation #heatpumps #uvalues #airtightness #solar #mvhr Shame on you 🐞

Care about the climate emergency and want lower your environmental impact at home?
You may have heard about home retrofits, but have no idea where to begin?
Fear not - on the Cosy Homes Oxfordshire blog, we discuss what you need to look out for: buff.ly/38TQLcj

So pleased that the share offer is going well even in the current #CoronaVirusChallenge
We have a new share offer out, to put solar on the roof of Braywick Leisure Centre. Interest 3-5% a year, minimum investment £100, closing date 31 March. Want to be part of it? shareoffer.maidenergy.coop/
This is big picture stuff (I generally prefer miniatures) but well worth a read...
Some thoughts on the myth of silver linings, the strategically dumb speculation on green gains, and how nothing is certain about the eventual recovery. In the coronavirus crisis, everything rests on the choices we make. businessgreen.com/blog-post/…

Spread the word! It's a scandal that VAT is charged at a rate of 20% on repairs and maintenance on existing buildings, while VAT on nearly all new-build construction is zero-rated. The power of the massive house-building lobby. We must be encouraged to repair and retrofit!
Signed! This time, lets see some big big numbers! @ExtinctionR please get behind this... @theCCCuk @ChiefExecCCC @robintransition ,@AECBnet @PassivhausTrust @phplusmag @GreenRupertRead @diana4hereford @jonburkeUK @BandQ
Yesterday I get the great news that my planning application for two homes in West London was approved. Naturally, the first thing was to create a Twitter account for the project! @HanselGretelW13 (and, yes, there is a story behind the name 👫 ; )

Transport is the climate 'bad boy' of the EU economy - the only sector to grow its emissions since 1990
@TimmermansEU @AdinaValean, here's our vision for how the #EUGreenDeal can turn that around:

I'm one!
New research shows that public support for the country becoming #carbon neutral is up 25% in 3 years.
In fact, 9/10 Brits now place #carbonneutrality as a top priority!
Are you one of them? Comment below & let us know your thoughts.

Really enjoyed meeting Rebbeca from @TheConsumerCode at the MCS stakeholders meeting. She was kind enough to be a guest on the @McsCertified Future Installer podcast series I hosted at @FuturebuildNow. Below, is when we both listened to @rippin_ian set out the new MCS's vision.
Footy on TV, cup of tea and the latest episode of @betateachpod ⚽️📺☕️ #ComeOnYouRenewables
Very enjoyable day at @FuturebuildNow Spent much of my time in the @retrofitacademy Arena : ) And great to meet @EarthOrgUK @parityprojects @RetrofitWorks @ElmhurstEnergy @TheNEF @StromaGroup and @EnergySysCat amongst others
Oh, and @EarthOrgUK I found out on my way back that my planning application has just been approved! Yay! 🏡🏡

Unsurprisingly the government needs to get off is ass and actually do something to encourage retrofit! publications.parliament.uk/p…
From @edie ... Energy and Clean Growth minister Kwasi Kwarteng has claimed the Government is "absolutely committed" to exploring new support mechanisms for low-carbon heat in the UK once the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) expires in March 2021. edie.net/news/11/UK-Governme…
Great episode covering some of the issues and history of heat pumps (loved to idea of farmers and miners preferring ground source as they already have a relationship with the land). Always honest, Always revealing (1W = 1 J/s ; )
Check out my #betatalk podcast with @IMSHeat. I believe we mention @myGrantUK @vaillantuk @NIBEEnergy @KensaHeatPumps
@HeatingConsult and @HeatCalculation @Danfoss_UK
@KensaContracts and my sponsor @McsCertified.

Interesting thread... I plan to do ASHP+Solar Thermal on my own house at "some point" in the future 🌞
2 British companies @baxiboilers,@BristolEnergy have successfully trialled selling ‘heat-as-a-service’ experts believe will pave the way for the #lowcarbon retrofit revolution.@EnergySysCat also tested a hybrid gas & #HP HP system Like RT

From my (albeit short) time on Twitter, it does seem to be the case. Happy to be proved wrong of course! PS. Who should I get to Insulate my 1929 solid wall semi in West London?
Builders and craftsmen are the missing link in the sustainable retrofit agenda. They need more education on the use of eco materials and basic building physics yet they receive the least attention. It’s time for a change.
