This is how our Victorian terraced house looked before, during and after the renovation and retrofitting, both inside and out.

 

If you are thinking of doing something similar (net zero without going passive) and want to know more and get genuine and specific answers to your questions based upon our experience (such as for planning, insulation, PV supplier, systems, steel roofing, installing the PV yourself etc.) I think I can probably save you some time and money. Therefore I have created a way to give focused and timely support and to be compensated fairly for my time and investment. I do want to help more people to do what we have done but like anyone my time is not infinite and I run a tiny non-profit which has a new community sustainability project which needs a lot of attention (and funding!), The Circular Shop. So any payments we receive for helping others to follow us will make what we have done even more sustainable! 🙂
