Guten Morgen! ☕️
​Kaffee läuft, die Muskeln sind aufgewärmt – und das ist auch bitter nötig: Heute wird es wild bei pc-spenden.de! Über 20 Leute holen sich heute ihren „neuen“ Rechner ab.

​Unser Lager wird leerer, die Herzen voller. Packen wir’s an! 💪 #RetroFitting #Ehrenamt #Hessen

Before heading to @PaircUiCha0imh on Sunday , I went to Mallow for their annual Home & Garden fest . A beautiful day , well organised , great variety but having been a rapporteur @europarl_en for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive , I’m surprised Government Departments & Stakeholders don’t use events like these to promote & help public with #retrofitting homes & buildings ! Apart from #Solar promotions , I didn’t notice anything else ! 🤷How about it from now on !!

Did these charities read the recent National Audit Office report into ECO and GBIS 3 weeks ago that found that 98% of external wall insulation installs done by these two schemes need repairs???

New government program offers major HVAC incentives to mobile home owners: 'This is a more affordable pathway for many folks'
