Zero Ambitions Podcast

We spoke to Lisa about PAS 2035, how it can be improved, and some of the projects she has been evaluating over the last few years.

Also, to anyone remotely interested in retrofit, we recommend that you also watch this video in which Lisa talks through how she applied her considerable experience and skills to retrofitting her own home. We didn’t actually talk about it much during the podcast, so we may have to have her back to get into it in more depth.

Through our discussion with Lisa, it’s clear that if we’re to meet our climate change objectives and decarbonise our homes, we need to understand the lessons of the past so as not to repeat them in the future. Evaluation is critical, and as a wise man once said, if you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.

What is Zero Ambitions Podcast?

Zero Ambitions is a podcast about sustainability and the built environment. There is no single solution to fixing the built environment, so we're talking our way through as much of it as we can.

We find interesting guests who know what they're talking about and speak with them about sustainability, good practice, and how to make a difference because the challenges are massive and the problems complex.
