Even older houses can become carbon-neutral, with Ralph Carpenter

13/03/2026 | 18:30 | Octagon Room, Woodbridge Methodist Church

This talk hosted by Deben Climate Centre offers practical hope for people living in older homes, showing how deep retrofitting and heat pumps can dramatically cut energy use, even in Victorian properties. It explores how older buildings can be adapted using flexible building regulations and thoughtful design to achieve major reductions in energy consumption. Led by architect Ralph Carpenter, the session shares real-world experience of what’s possible when retrofitting is done well, offering inspiration for anyone interested in making their home more comfortable, efficient and low impact.
