Our second mini-seminar was People Powered Retrofit by Liam Schofield of the Carbon Coop in Manchester.
Liam spoke about a community-led project for improving comfort and lowering carbon in existing housing. The Carbon Coop take a bottom-up approach to retrofit. Instead of the top-down one-size-fits-all approach taken in some government initiatives, the Carbon coop looks at local needs and resources to build partnerships between households and local firms. www.carbon.coop.
