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!

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.

Yes, would love to meet up. DM us. I worry about the Retrofit Coordinator role building on the DEA role mainly because the EPC game has become a race to the bottom where a small number of excellent DEAs have to compete price wise with the tick box ones. @6CylinderLTD may disagree

Not to be missed 👇 the built environment community rethinking how we approach the issue of fairness in its many forms in our cities... this Thurs 20th Feb 6pm
Cities are not solving socio-economic disparities, #planning and #development distrust, or the #climatecrisis. Can the #builtenvironment help? Join us at #ThirdThursday to hear from @citiesforpeople, @GrosvenorGRP, @BartlettUCL and others to learn more. cp.catapult.org.uk/events/th…
