Tired of housing being insecure and unaffordable? RAD Housing (Retrofit and Decommodify Housing) is here to make housing cool again! Using the power of community, we can buy homes under collective ownership that really last and really look after people! đŸ©·đŸ˜ïžđŸ©·

I don’t care how long people have lived in them: an uninsulated building is simply an unfinished building. Let's stop pretending "complete" just means having a roof and walls. If it can’t hold heat or protect from heat, the job isn't done. #insulation #retrofit

Le rĂ©trofit, autrement dit la transformation d’un vĂ©hicule thermique en Ă©lectrique, fait de plus en plus parler de lui. Et pour cause, il permet de donner une seconde vie Ă  des voitures anciennes tout en rĂ©duisant leur impact environnemental. Accessoirement, il rĂ©duit aussi la consommation de carburant et par les temps qui courent, c’est plutĂŽt une excellente nouvelle ! #retrofit #voitureĂ©lectrique

"for #Canada to achieve its goal of net zero by 2050, about 600,000 homes will need to be retrofitted each year. Updated building codes mean new buildings produce lower emissions, but older ones require retrofitting, especially since 80% of buildings that will exist in 2050 have already been constructed."

I would also argue that some of the most informed conversations I’ve had with people about #retrofit are with those who consider themselves to be #WorkingClass
this is because those who have worked in trades (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, bricklayers), tend to have the greatest technical knowledge of how homes perform.

What frustrates people is when in the past they have experienced poor workmanship and delays
the concept of making their homes more energy efficient is a positive.

Working in #SocialHousing and #retrofit, I was delighted to be invited to attend this recent #ClimateMajority event concerning class and climate action at #UEA, #Norwich.

There are many assumptions made about the intersection of these two issues
often negative.

In my line of work I find those who have experienced the benefits of retrofit the greatest persuaders of others - this is true across spectrum
