Workshop

An introductory workshop at Levenshulme Inspire: Beginners Guide to Retrofit. Helping you understand the basics and get your head around the jargon before you head out to see the homes.

Bus Tour

We will start the day at Levenshulme Inspire for a Carbon Co-op workshop: Beginner's Guide to Retrofit. Marion Lloyd-Jones will explore what we mean when we talk about energy efficiency and retrofit. We will explore basic ideas and concepts, and help you think through questions to consider when visiting eco-homes.

We will provide a free lunch and then head off on the tour!

The bus tour will stop at two Carbon Co-op member homes. Both are at different stages of development so this is an exciting opportunity to see the process.

• Phoebe, Stockport
