Roadmaps for fuel poverty and retrofit: we know what needs to be done so why can’t we do it? With Tania Jennings (Chair of the Association of Local Energy Officers, London)


Listen Later

We invited Tania Jennings back. Most folk in the retrofit or social housing space will probably be aware of Tania from LinkedIn and the myriad jobs she has.

If you don’t know her yet, check her LinkedIn.

Anyway, she wrote a thing for Architect’s Journal about fuel poverty, Covid, and inevitably retrofit and it was excellent. 

It sparked a conversation about why we’re barely making a dent in resolving the massive pile of retrofit problems in front of us, one that seemed ripe for the podcast, so we brought Jeff and Alex into it too.

Broadly, we need better roadmaps and collaboration to enable the change we want to see. We know that the solutions are, it's just that we're not able to deploy them if we carry on going about things the way we currently are. 


Notes from the show

  • Tania's article: Poor housing and Covid deaths: it’s the same damn map
  • Wikipedia's page on Malthusianism
  • The Association of Local Energy Officers (you don't need to have that specific job title to join their ranks)
  • Check the National Retrofit Hub
