‘Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the NEU said it could be dangerous for schools to remain open unless they were able to mitigate the heat, and warned:

“Our Victorian school buildings have become greenhouses. The government must step up. We need urgent, massive capital investment to #retrofit our ageing school estates with proper ventilation, shading, and climate-resilient cooling infrastructure. Expecting schools to carry on like normal right now is dangerous.”’

Just sat in a meeting talking about a ‘post government funding world for #retrofit’… the vision is that banks will fund this work through loans and they will want it done as cheaply and efficiently as possible. That’s going to mean assessing using monitoring systems rather than trained human assessors and coordinators who visit the properties.

You might think ‘great - technology makes things cheaper and more efficient!’

I just see unintended consequences that will cost a fortune to put right.

The UK's home retrofit programme is progressing at roughly a tenth of the speed needed to meet climate targets.

Andrew Spencer from Equans outlines the scale of the challenge and what must change.

#Decarbonisation #Retrofit

I know from my day job that people now understand the value and difference #retrofit can make to the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of their homes.

This matters in the heat of increasingly 🥵 summers, as well as cold winters 🥶.

Insulation is the best bang for your buck. It will keep you cooler in these raging heatwaves as well as warmer in winter.
