Low Carbon Homes has opened registration for five more retrofit conferences – each consisting of three days of intense discussion and knowledge-sharing to consider how best to rapidly scale up the retrofitting of housing locally.

It is hoped that the long-anticipated – and now overdue – Heat and Buildings Strategy will pave the way to tackle one of the UK’s greatest de-carbonisation challenges – de-carbonising our housing. Meanwhile city and regional leaders are setting ambitious targets and creating plans to not only reduce carbon impacts but also to stimulate the local economy and create a fairer society.

“The roll-out of five more free-to-attend events comes as the UK Government continues to ponder how best to tackle the de-carbonisation of the UK’s 25,000,000 homes. Local leaders can’t wait for central government to make this happen for them. They are taking control and doing what’s best for their local communities.

The Events & Media section of our Directory includes a wide range of construction specific
resources and articles covering exhibiting, journal advertising, product directories, etc.

“By the end of this year our events will have helped 18 regions address their retrofit challenges and many of our conferences are now set to repeat annually. We believe that a local approach is the only way to achieve retrofit at-scale – to reduce the carbon impact of housing, eradicate fuel poverty and stimulate local economic recovery” – Graham Lock, Founder, Low Carbon Homes
