Retrofitted Low Carbon Home – Waverley Park
When their boiler was declared ‘at risk’, Kat and Iain decided to retrofit their home and transition to a heat pump. Join them for an informative tour of their cosy retrofitted Victorian mid-terrace. You will see the insulation, storm doors, monitoring system, upgraded radiators and heat pump. You will learn about the steps they took, the costs involved and what they would do differently. Somebody from Loco Home Retrofit will also there. Kat and Iain are members of Loco Home Retrofit CIC – a cooperative set up by homeowners in Glasgow to provide expert advice and help retrofitters transition off fossil fuels and onto safe, clean energy. You can also read Kat and Iain’s case study https://retr.fit/yars or watch their webinar https://retr.fit/pxqy
