Involving people who will be affected by net-zero housing changes and working with them throughout our research journey is central to INHABITs work. This will ensure that solutions are practical and fair and grounded in real experience. To achieve this, we have set up an INHABIT Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) group to guide our research, making it meaningful and relevant to everyday lives. 

We are also working with stakeholders to ensure our research is relevant, useful and timely. We are doing this through: 

• Sharing understanding – providing information to, and co-creating resources with, local authorities and housing retrofit partners
• Raising awareness – creating easy to understand materials for people taking part in our research and beyond
• Hosting events – involving communities and supporting engagement activities where people can learn about our research and findings
• Communications – sharing information about retrofitting and health, through our website, broadcast and social media
