– Senior Student Communications Officer – Edinburgh Napier
“We had our Low Carbon Living session with Arjen and Jess today. It was lovely to see up-close an element of the Changeworks operation which can also be personally beneficial to us too! Do pass on our thanks to the LCL/GEH team for their time and insights.”

“The analysis was really, really detailed in terms of the predictions of where I was going to get maximum benefit. So that gave me real confidence that I was going to be spending money in the right places.”
– Mike, EcoCosi client
“It’s been really great working with the team. They’re very responsive, very knowledgeable… I think it’d be really useful for people to get this kind of analysis of their house and then decide what they want to do in the future.”

Retrofit delivery
Expert managing agent service to support every step of the journey to energy efficient housing at scale. Partnering with local authorities and housing associations, the Retrofit Delivery team covers everything from developing a home decarbonisation strategy, right through to assessing the impact of the completed work.
“Areas where we’ve previously installed external wall insulation have seen significant improvements in heat retention, [which is] crucial with the cost of energy as high as it currently is. We appreciate the help of Changeworks in delivering this project and look forward to working with them again in future.”
– Neil Edgar, Development Manager for Melville Housing
“It’s no longer cold in the vennel bedroom, as you fixed the draft. It costs less to keep the house at a comfortable temperature.”
