Zero Carbon Hwb – Privacy Notice
The Zero Carbon Hwb is operated by Energy Saving Trust, Trustmark, Good Homes Alliance and Sero on behalf of the Welsh Government to gather information in support of our path to zero carbon homes. We are doing this by dissemination of best practice advice on retrofit and newbuild techniques through stakeholder engagement and the creation of bespoke learning modules to help upskill the construction workforce. We are collaborating with other hubs across the UK, such as the National Retrofit Hub (NRH) and Built Environment – Smarter Transformation (BE-ST) hub in Scotland.
Together we will use the information you share with us in your Case Studies to help direct research and advice to all those working in the built environment.
