Carbon Co-op’s Retrofit Calderdale project, in collaboration with Pennine Community Power, aims to empower residents in Todmorden to explore the possibilities of retrofitting their homes, creating cosier spaces, reducing energy bills, and improving the efficiency of their homes through knowledge sharing, workshop events, and technology.

This workshop series is for householders interested in learning more about the basics of retrofit, applying this to your home and sharing knowledge and learning with other local residents.

Our first workshop focuses on thermal imaging cameras and how we can use them to learn more about the energy efficiency of our homes. During the session, you will:

Learn what thermal imaging cameras are, how they work and how they can help you gain useful knowledge about the energy efficiency or inefficiency of your home
Practical activity: walk around nearby streets to practise using thermal cameras to spot heat loss (wrap up warm!)
Discuss possible ways of accessing and borrowing thermal imaging cameras to use on your own home

We will be meeting at Todmorden College in room 201 Stoodley. We are keen to protect everyone's health as much as we can, therefore we will be providing face masks and sanitiser, and welcome and support anyone to use these during the session. We have placed an upper limit of 35 places to ensure we have plenty of space, and everyone can take part in the activities. Booking is essential for attendance!

We have planned three more workshops after this event, scheduled between March and June, covering topics such as Air Tightness and DIY measures; Retrofit and Flooding; and Home Energy Assessments. Subscribe to our Eventbrite organisation page to be alerted of these and other future workshops and events.

Please note: These workshops are aimed at householders who want to learn more about retrofit. This is not a workshop for people working in the supply chain or seeking to promote a specific product or service - we will ask salespeople to leave the session.
