• Who to engage with – there are different approaches depending on the amount of measures and relative difficulties.
• A whole group Q+A with a panel including representatives of the city council • Breakout groups – for considering (a) deep retrofits, multiple measures and going full EnerPHit; )b) DIY approaches for low and no cost; (c) technical advice; • Feedback from break outs
