And that's a wrap for today's session - and what an interesting discussion it was, thank you to @insidehousing and for everyone in attendance who are so committed to seeing positive change in the #ukhousing and social housing industry #CleanGrowth #GHF

[Green Housing Forum @GreenHForum]

Why is upfront cost for sustainability still a main driver on decision making in procurement? Especially when social housing providers work to whole life costing of equipment. #ukhousing #GHF #CleanGrowth

[Green Housing Forum @GreenHForum]

Is there the approach to EPC ratings too prescriptive from social landlords? Just because the EPC for a property meets requirements, it doesn't always assure the tenant's comfortability #ukhousing #GHF #CleanGrowth

[Green Housing Forum @GreenHForum]

Is there an undisputed link between sustainability and affordability? Benefits to the tenant, i.e. lower running costs of the home will mean the tenant can also afford to pay their rent #ukhousing #GHF #CleanGrowth

[Green Housing Forum @GreenHForum]

One of the issues raised; is there really enough resource in sustainability teams in housing organisations? Does this mean that sustainability is no longer as important as other priorities in UK housing? #GHF #ukhousing #CleanGrowth

[Green Housing Forum @GreenHForum]

'Do social housing providers need to realise that 'low carbon, doesn't always mean low cost' initially?', 'What should social housing providers really be prioritising for #ukhousing?' Are a couple of the questions and discussion points around the table today #CleanGrowth #GHF

[Green Housing Forum @GreenHForum]

This morning the #GHF is at @HoStBarnabas with @insidehousing discussing #CleanGrowth & finding the right solutions for the UK's housing stock - it's a full house here & we are looking forward to some interesting discussions and ideas @Daikinuk
