We were pleased to host an event about retrofitting in Wymondham in January 2023. We need to achieve more energy efficient homes urgently to slow climate change. A UK house loses heat three times faster than the european average.

Simeon Jackson, a previous Norwich Green Party councillor and passionate about sustainable living gave the talk and has kindly given us the pdf of the talk to share here.

Here is a beginners guide to Retrofitting he has recommended.
