Description
About us
Loco Home Retrofit Community Interest Company Ltd is a growing startup non-profit, structured as a voluntary co-operative of over 140 households and construction/renovation professionals with a paid staff.
We are not an installer and instead we focus on homeowner engagement, advice and supply chain coordination.
We are committed to deep, risk-managed, whole building retrofit approaches which optimise lifetime carbon and the societal costs of full decarbonisation.
Besides changing Glasgow's homes, we also intend to build community wealth by stimulating the local supply chain.We are developing new engagement strategies and business models appropriate to the owner occupier sector. Our structure and member-led governance has been designed to prioritise quality and engender trust.
We operate a bespoke 'house by house' retrofit planning service which is oversubscribed. With strategic partners we are also developing a data-led 'street by street' approach.
As a social enterprise, Loco Home was founded to address market and regulatory failures.
Besides mitigating the worst impacts of climate change, we view the retrofit transformation as an opportunity to create a new kind of economy in which community wealth is prioritised.
