Welcome, Sarah.

As you've obviously rightly guessed, the whole issue of renewable heating is very under represented in the context of landlords and tenants, so it'll be very helpful to get your perspective.

I hope so, @toodles. It's not often that we see a situation where the decision maker on renewables installation is not the consumer, so it's important to explore how what the user wants and what is cost effective can work together better. Personally, I don't see it's a difficult sell to demonstrate the heat pump/solar PV/battery combination as being very good at keeping running costs low but there's still always that barrier of upfront installation costs, especially since landlords won't get a BUS grant (as far as I'm aware).
