Richmond Sustainability Forum: Retrofitting your home

Learn about making your home more comfortable, greener, and cheaper to run at the Richmond Sustainability Forum at Duke Street Church on Tuesday 10 March. 

Improving how your home uses energy has many benefits, yet there are still myths around retrofitting—in particular, around heat pumps, batteries, and solar panels. 

This is your opportunity to hear from experts—as well as real Richmond residents—about the practicalities, challenges and benefits of retrofitting your home. 

You’ll be introduced to the Council’s new retrofit information site, the Smarter Homes Hub, and hear updates from the Planning department. You’ll also hear from experts from Make My House Green, CREW Energy and others. 

There will be refreshments and an opportunity for questions, discussions and networking. 

Event details:

• Date: Tuesday 10 March
• Time: 5.30 to 7.30 pm
• Location: Duke Street Church, Richmond 
• Price: Free
