Thanks to all who came along yesterday evening for an incredibly inciteful and interesting look at 'Scaling up Retrofit in Greater Manchester' with the AECB Greater Manchester Local Group. Massive thanks to Jonathan Atkinson and Mark Atherton for their fascinating presentations.

Some lovely pics of our panel who were absolute stars for joining us on a rare sunny day in Manchester and sharing their knowledge and experiences. Put 6th Aug in your diary if you want to help shape some of those next steps for the AECB Greater Manchester Local Group @AECBnet
#Retrofit seemed to lead the agenda, with a vast amount of experience in the room. There were a lot of topics we couldn’t cover, so plan to focus on a series of workshops over the next year. If you’re interested in helping, there will be a planning evening on 6th Aug! @AECBnet

Had such a great evening yesterday, speaking with so many like-minded people. Getting excited. Getting a bit depressed. And getting excited again for next steps for our not so little local group!
Huge thanks to everyone who attended the launch event for the @AECBnet Greater Manchester Local Group. We’re excited about next steps for this group to help drive positive change in the construction industry in GM. Special thanks to the amazing panel and Angela @TheMSArch too.

Projects like this are only possible with visionary clients, who see the value in creating homes fit for the future. #lovemyjob @PassivhausPlus @PassivhausTrust #passivhaus #netzero
Over the moon that planning has been granted for 5 new #Passivhaus homes in Urmston! First of their kind in #Trafford. Like other #GreaterManchester boroughs, Trafford signed up to deliver #netzero carbon homes by 2028. We hope this project contributes to this ambition!

So gratifying to see the result of our first @AECBnet Retrofit Level 2 certified project. It was wonderful working with @ProgInPrac and EcoVert Solutions to apply a #Passivhaus approach and turn this beautiful 1901 heritage property into a comfortable home for the future.
Fabulous to work on the deep #retrofit of this beautiful Edwardian home. Was quite the challenge, as I'm sure @Ecospheric & Ecovert Solutions would agree, but thrilled with the result. Especially as it's achieved @AECBnet Retrofit Level 2 certification; progressinpractice.co.uk/res…
