We're part of a national call on Prime Minister @RishiSunak to support low-income households over the winter. With @placeshapers, we say that balancing the budget must not be at the expense of those already struggling! #FixThisCrisis

@LicypriyaK @ZacGoldsmith I think you’re preaching to the converted. @ZacGoldsmith is one of the UK’s strongest political climate advocates. In fact he helped inspire my sustainability career 20 odd years ago when he was editor of The Ecologist magazine

God I needed some optimism this morning - and there it is. 87 countries have now passed the 5% tipping point into widespread adoption of renewable technologies #heatpumps #solarpv #ElectricVehicles

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

Solar power, electric cars, grid-scale batteries, heat pumps—the world is crossing into a mass-adoption moment for green technologies.

Some great ideas here for financing #socialhousing #retrofit. Although housing providers are finally starting to prioritise spending on retrofit using #SHDF grant to achieve vfm. BUT there are tough financial times ahead so keep those ideas coming @GFI_green!

This is Chimney Pot Park in Salford where, with the help of @shedkm, we restored these terraces to create contemporary homes https://t.co/zKEZVKGVLi

Santander study finds that buyers are placing an average 9.4% premium on homes that have been retrofitted and a 15.5% premium for properties with high energy efficiency https://t.co/4Zp3wm2RI9

@Alx_wilkes @DofESouthEast Now you know how I felt when a certain former participant presented me with a long service certificate at the palace!

[Energiesprong UK @EnergiesprongUK]

A must-read report. Reducing the cost of retrofit by 50% by 2030 is the PM's wish. Retrofit exemplars like @SuperHomes_SEA have been inspirational. Now #Energiesprong aims to make net zero energy a market reality. Let's do it! https://t.co/gTzajrK7Ez

[Energiesprong UK @EnergiesprongUK]

@moathomes reveals designs for 1st UK #E0 supported #Energiesprong pilot in Maldon. @ENGIE_UK is the preferred bidder for #retrofit works. How close to #NetZeroEnergy can we go in pre-1930s semis? @EnergyLiveNews @INTERREG_NWE @energiesprongEU. Find out at https://t.co/aQ6zhDbWf8

@PaulHackett10 This is great! How about Kevin Lynch (Image of the City) and Jan Gehl. Both key authors for geography and urban design students. Or at least they were 20 years ago :)
