Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the prevention or relief of poverty','the advancement of education','the advancement of health','the advancement of environmental protection or improvement'

NESFIT's aim is to support householders to retrofit their homes in order to reduce heating costs (reduce fuel poverty), improve occupants' health and reduce carbon emissions (environmental benefit). Experience is showing that retrofit is poorly understood by the public and professionals and groundwork is needed before NESFIT's aim of retrofit at scale will be realised. NESFIT is currently focusing on training, engaging with the public and participating in events. NESFIT partners with the University in the Just Systems project in Torry (Aberdeen). In low income areas, NESFIT is running courses to enable householders to undertake basic upgrading measures themselves and has delivered a project monitoring the condition of a small sample of homes. This identified mould and air quality problems. Funding will be sought to address this. Certified courses are being run for professionals and trades people. NESFIT engages with politicians and public bodies on the challenges of retrofit.
