Retrofitting Richmond –
Creating a future for Richmond’s past
At Duke Street Church, Duke Street, Richmond TW9 1DH. Doors open at 7:00 pm when wine and soft drinks will be available.
The Government’s policy is that the UK should reach net zero emissions of carbon dioxide by 2050 – but what does that mean in practical terms for our homes?
Michael de Podesta is a scientist who cares deeply about retrofitting, the process of insulating buildings; installing renewable heating such as heat pumps; and renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and batteries. Since retiring, he has devoted much time to reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by his home in Teddington. He will explain from his practical experience how these technologies can transform our homes to reduce our carbon footprint and bring the UK closer to net zero.
Many residents look askance at development which alters Richmond’s charming townscape but, unless Richmond embraces renewable energy technologies, Richmond’s past will have no future. His talk is therefore highly relevant to all of us.
Get your tickets from Eventbrite.
Free for members and £7.00 for non-member guests.
Michael de Podesta MBE CPhys FInstP retired in 2020 after a career as a physics lecturer (Birkbeck and UCL) and a measurement scientist (NPL). He writes a blog at http://protonsforbreakfast.org.
