RISE Case Study: Carbon Co-op as a Trusted Retrofit Partner
As client intermediary, Carbon Co-op established trusting and collaborative working relationships with both the households and supply chain organisations involved in the project. Contractual documents were designed to capture the ethos of collaboration, which shared liabilities where appropriate. This case study reflects on the importance of trust in this project and should be useful to anyone considering how to engage new audiences in place-based retrofit approaches.
