Here's our 1st tutorial with Anna ,our MSA Live tutor. We then liaise with Jonathan Atkinson our collaborator from Carbon
Co-Op to discuss expectations , supports , resources & our next plan of action

Our fundamentals for this project! Don't worry , we've have got more in store , if you're willing to explore :) Say it . Ask it. Sorted!

Had a wonderful trip up North of Manchester to Dominic McCann's beautiful retrofitted home. Dominic is one of the pioneers of Carbon Co-Op Retrofit projects that has became one of the best retrofit project of Carbon Co-Op. We had the privilege of venturing into the retrofit aspects of his home. Retrofits ranging from Solar PV to having a white external wall insulation has made Dominic's home a source of precedent for green homes in his neighbourhood.

We had the pleasure of having Carbon Co-op & People Powered Retrofit introduce 4 of their staff members present for the final output presentation. Jonathan (bottom left) can be seen giving an intro on Retrofit and had each of their staff members, Harriet (Top left) , Mark (top right) and Matt (bottom right) a chance to introduce the roles & insight in retrofit.

PRESENTATION DAY!
Each of the case study group presented their findings and reflections to the Carbon Co-op members. The feedback was very positive since we were able to acquire some interesting insights into retrofit that weren't previously documented or reported.

MASSIVE THANK YOU!
A huge appreciation for all involved in this project . We would love to thank Carbon Co-op for their commitment and cooperation in providing us with 5 case studies retrofit "champions", namely, Julian Tomlin, Dominic McCann, Lloyd Hamilton, Alan Mould & Phoebe Spence. We appreciate their hospitality in accommodating us during our interview sessions. Last but not least, we would love to thank the BAs for their hard work and commitment in completing this project! See you around next year!
