Providing members with tools for success

We place a lot of emphasis on helping members secure work and access opportunities to help further their careers. That’s why we created a dedicated space on our website where members can access handy guides to help them market themselves to potential customers. Take a look here: https://www.elmhurstenergy.co.u k/guides-and-fact-sheets All of our materials are customisable so you can include your business name, logo and contact details. You can find guides on EPCs, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards, Legionella and recommendations - to name a few!

Business in a Box

Those of you who came to see us at FutureBuild might also remember our Business in a Box.

The box is a quick start guide for those looking to get started in the retrofit industry, featuring everything from business cards, videos, and business guides to help you create a successful business.

We received great feedback from members regarding ‘Business in a Box’, with many commenting that it helped them demystify the retrofit process and how to search for work. The online version doesn’t contain any sweets, but we think it works just as well!

our public profile has grown even more thanks to the hard work of our PR agency and the emphasis being placed on sustainability.

The first Elmhurst Almanac

Elmhurst has always taken a proactive approach to identifying issues within the industry and identifying potential solutions. Earlier this year Elmhurst released its Almanac which outlines some of our call to actions, which are echoed by others within the industry. Our 10 big asks in 2022 include:

1. Redesign energy certificates 2. Use the Golden triangle to inform decision-making 3. Ensure all energy certificates reflect the current state of the property 4. Improve Display Energy

Certificates (DECs) and implement them in the private sector 5. Don’t ignore energy used to cool buildings 6. Change the funding mechanism in ECO so that it supports the whole house retrofit approach 7. Use energy assessors to support the introduction of renewable technology 8. Rebalance the tax applied to low emission fuels and fossil fuels to make heat pumps the right option for both the environment and financially 9. Measure energy performance to validate retrofit strategies 10.Implement a single national framework for lifecycle analysis and Net Zero You can view the Almanac here: https://issuu.com/elmhurstenergy /docs/elmhurst_almanac_2022 Opportunities

And finally we have our opportunities page where organisations can advertise vacancies.

We regularly email these to members, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled! Alternatively if you would like to advertise a position yourself you can get in contact with the team, who will feature your advert for free!
