Talk: ‘Retrofitting a Listed Building to Passivhaus Standards’

A talk by Andrew Hobson.

Admission: £5

Andy and his partner, Janet, have transformed a semi-derelict Grade 2 listed property, empty for over a decade, into a highly energy efficient family home fit for the twenty first century. The talk will describe the technical and bureaucratic hurdles that had to be cleared before building work began but will focus mainly on the resource-saving interventions installed on the property to make it, officially, the most energy efficient building on Merseyside and the most energy-efficient listed building in the world.

Andy is a retired factory manager and management consultant who retired to the Wirral 5 years ago.

The talk will be followed by complimentary tea/coffee and homemade cake, with an opportunity to meet like-minded people.
