Mick Wall, founder of Energy Stats UK, turned curiosity about his bills into a mission to help others understand energy. His story proves people don’t retrofit for carbon targets – they do it when it saves money, feels rewarding, and makes life better.

Great news indeed. But honestly, how did it get this far without being noticed?!
It was a very productive day. Here is my write up: www.linkedin.com/posts/russel...
Looking forward to the @insidehousing.bsky.social #warmhomessummit tomorrow - unveiling our new brand in person, seeing how we can help #ukhousing with #warmhomes and more with our new SaaS: Asset Manager Workspace, and hearing from @retrofitruss.bsky.social on managing #repairs alongside #retrofit
The first people in the UK who owned a heat pump?
The Telegraph hasn’t got its facts right once again.
The first heat pump in the UK was installed in Norwich in 1945 by John Sumner.

For #retrofit followers, of me & @retrofitruss.bsky.social after #ParityProjects acquisition last year we’re now rebranding as @cotalityuk.bsky.social. The work, and urgency, continues. First outing under new brand is the @insidehousing.bsky.social #warmhomessummit next week. See you there?
Great new piece on heat pump monitoring and optimisation from @chrisbaraniuk.com

Good news for you though; client in Bromley with mid-terraced property, grey render over previously lovely brick - doesn't need planning permission for EWI because of it. New planning hack?
This is a fantastic angle, Jan. I'm still find myself struggling with the 'prosumer' term though...
Agreed. The mini-cabins are a great idea.
Here's one example I authored (short read) .......https://www.constructionleadershipcouncil.co.uk/news/national-retrofit-strategy-v2-launches/
Fair enough! 🙂
But what did the world think in 1961 when this came out?
And is the concept car so wacky? What do you think people thought of the E-type when it came out at the Geneva Motor fair on March 15, 1961 ??
This approach actually feels like a tried and tested path for Jaguar!
I'm loving the Jaguar Cars rebrand, shift to all-EV and new concept car. IMO they are doing everything we all need to move forward to a net zero society; they've stirred debate, set a standard and made it relevant. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fantastic animation 👌
I had to read that twice
...🙃
NEW: I have been speaking to homeowners about how hard it can be to make their homes more energy efficient. There IS good advice out there - but you may not always find it easily... 🏠🤔
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Did you see us on #BBC News today? People don’t know who to turn to for advice on #retrofit, it’s deterring action. Help us get the word out - our #energyefficiency service takes homeowners from independent advice to quality assured install. We can help your customers, residents, staff, readers…
Welcome. I'm quite new too. It's rather nice.
If you look very, very closely, you may detect just the slightest hint of a trend.
Many congratulations, Becky! That's really great news.
If you ever wondered what it's like to live in a passivhaus, there's still time to book for a @passivhaustrust.bsky.social open day and visit one (or more) passivhaus buildings this weekend:

#dontlookup
Looking forward to this - I’ll be there Saturday. Best bit is hearing “you’re exactly what we’ve been looking for!” from
people trying to make sense of #retrofit #energyefficiency, so do help us get the word out 🙏
If you're considering an #eco #renovation, come and see us at #everythingelectricSOUTH this weekend.
We'll be showcasing our service, and @retrofitruss.bsky.social will be talking powering up the #supplychain and engaging homeowners. See you there!

Stone the crows!
Did the planning application go in? Did you test the particular resistance?
Indeed. Existing rads were acceptable after the air test, but also, my more accurate u-value calcs reduced the size of the heat pump!!

I am in discovery of holy grail territory here having found and installed the NetZero app, which reads the Agile Octopus upcoming electricity pricing and *automatically* sets my Tesla Powerwall utility rate dynamically, more accurately replacing my daily manual adjustment routine. Woop!
