If you're interested in how retrofitted insulation performs over time, we carried out a detailed literature review and spoke to expert stakeholders. DESNZ have now published the report... www.gov.uk/government/p...

The LSI team researching urban treescapes near the office... Phrases like "not out of the woods yet" and "on the rocks" also spring to mind.

Fun day out for Adam, Dom & Felix, co-pressurisation testing at NeRV.

🏠 Our @leeds-lsi.bsky.social has launched 2 new test cells to baseline the real-world thermal performance of UK homes and further advance the LSI's innovation in #energy efficiency testing. 🔗 bit.ly/418DpHu The test cells are based at Citu in Leeds. #LBUResearch #AcademicSky

Thanks to everyone who came along to the launch of our test cells yesterday. www.placeyorkshire.co.uk/citu-and-lsi...
