Free Energy Efficiency Workshops & Events by HEAT Hub
Upcoming events
Our free workshops and events are designed to introduce the HEAT Hub project and build your understanding of home energy improvements, including low-carbon heating, insulation and renewable technologies. By attending, whether online or in-person, you will gain practical knowledge on how to apply these measures in your own home, with guidance and support from our team. You may also hear from fellow homeowners sharing their own success with retrofit.
We also collaborate with community groups to organise retrofit-focused events. If your group is interested in climate action or home energy efficiency, we'd be happy to speak at a meeting or help plan an event. Get in touch at 0115 985 3000 to discuss opportunities.
