Calling all tenants - join the great retrofit debate.

24th November, 2010

Over the next month PfH and Fusion21 will be undertaking further research with the Tenant Participation and Advisory Service (TPAS) on the retrofit agenda.

One of the biggest challenges facing Registered Providers over the next decades will be to retrofit its existing stock to meet the joint challenges of carbon reduction requirements and fuel poverty amongst residents. The Warm Homes, Greener Homes Strategy published by the previous Government seeks to provide guidance on these issues and identifies Registered Providers as leaders in the development of solutions.

In this survey, we are seeking tenants’ perspectives on the best ways to advise residents on issues around energy savings and changing behaviour to reduce fuel bills.   With a good representative sample we hope to paint an accurate picture from which we can produce results that will enable us to help you address the retrofit agenda.  All tenants who complete this short survey will be entered into a prize draw to win £50. Click here so tenants can complete this survey online, or email PfH now to request the survey by post.
