Welcome to the new issue

Hi everyone 👋🏽

It's beginning to feel a bit like... Aaagh, no, let's not go there just yet. Don't panic - there's still time to get plenty of good stuff done before the festive season. So let's get straight to it.

In this issue: GSHPA's Laura Bishop shares her heat pump experiences - Funded PhD to reimagine energy retrofit and home adaptations - Green Finance Institute's green loan market analysis - how landlords can get ahead of upcoming efficiency requirements - downturn in building work (a skills opportunity for retrofit, surely) - ASHP planning relaxation ahead - 2025 retrofit campaign diary dates - Warm Homes plan booster - impact of MCS progress for installers - Demand Flexibility Service expands.

Stay focused and read on, retrofitters...

📅 Events

📅 Not one but FOUR regional campaigns for your 2025 diaries!

Get ready for plenty of retrofit action next year! Our regional Retrofit Action Week campaigns are extended weeks of events, activities, collaboration and knowledge-sharing to speed up and scale up retrofit across the UK.

As well as returning to Glasgow 8-16 February, we are delighted to add the South West 22-30 March to the 2025 campaign train. Working closely with Retrofit West, Future Leap and The West of England Metro Mayor Dan Norris and the West of England Combined Authority, the RAW South West campaign will support everyone interested in scaling up retrofit for homes throughout this region.

And with RAW returning to West Midlands, 10-18 May and Greater Manchester, 4-12 October 2025 - it's going to be a busy year for retrofit around the UK. Naturally, we will keep you updated!

Everyone's invited - 🎫 Registration is 🆓 for all RAW events and activities.

That's it for this issue

Perhaps a slightly lighter issue this week - maybe due to the fact we're edging closer to... Aaagh, no, we said we're not going there just yet!

Let's see you back here in 2 weeks with our final 2024 retrofit news round-up. And then, OK, let's allow ourselves to wind down a little, ready for the festive break 😉
