Description

More heat-related chat this week. We're with Lisa Tresedar of Kensa Utilities joined us. She’s the string-puller behind Kensa’s Heat the Streets project the success of which has garnered national coverage because of its innovation and its success so far (which is now up for an award).Heat the Streets is a pioneering project in which Kensa sought to provide a Cornish village, that wasn’t on the gas grid, with its own grid infrastructure using a geothermal heat network and heat pumps.So, we talked about how the project got started, the challenges of decarbonisation, what they learned about user behaviour, where they see opportunity in the space, what's motivating Kensa, and what they plan to do next There are loads in there for anyone who's thinking about heating decarbonisation and community-based solutions. What's particularly heartening is that this has worked here and shows plenty of potential to work elsewhere too. Vote Kensa for the EHPA's People's Choice Awards And, sign up for more information with Kensa's newsletter.Notes from the show

Zero Ambitions is a podcast about sustainability, the built environment, and zero-carbon goals. We talk about how sustainability applies to the built environment, to draw attention to the achievability of it all, wherever there is the will to make a difference. It's not easy, but it is possible. Hosted by Jeff Colley (Passive House Plus), Dan Hyde (Everything is User Experience) and Alex Blondin (Everything is User Experience) Zero ambitions is a hub for sharing good practices, advice, stories about the importance of sustainable building, retrofit, performance, efficiency, new materials, strategies, and whatever needs to be done in order to meet the collective challenges that lie ahead.
