    Thermal Imaging Training Workshop

    Back by popular demand! Please sign up by clicking here.

    Join Low Carbon Hub for a free practical thermal imaging workshop with thermographer Paul Buckingham.

    Learning how to use a thermal imaging camera is a great way to engage your local community in energy efficiency. Thermal images reveal exactly where homes are losing heat – e.g. gaps in floorboards, draughts around windows or poorly fitted loft hatches – helping residents see how small scall improvements can make homes warmer, cosier, and cheaper to run.

    Kick off 2026 with our first, free webinar: Community Energy and the Energy Transition 

    What does the year ahead hold for community energy? How is the policy landscape shifting? And what opportunities are emerging for communities, investors, and local partners?

    Join us for a thought-provoking session that sets the tone for the year. We’ll unpack the big developments shaping the UK’s transition to clean energy and highlight the vital role that community energy organisations play in creating low-carbon, fairer, and more resilient energy systems. 

    You’ll come away with: 

    • Clear insight into the latest policy changes 
    • An understanding of the major challenges and opportunities ahead 
    • A sense of where community energy can make the biggest impact in 2026 
    • The role Low Carbon Hub is playing and how you can get involved  

    Whether you’re an investor, community group member, local authority partner, or simply interested in the future of the energy system, this session will provide a clear and accessible overview of what to expect in 2026. 

    Register your free place and start the year with fresh insights into the future of community energy.
