    Matthew Clubb, mwclubb

    In this episode of the Accelerate to Zero Podcast, Hannah Lloyd speaks to Matthew Clubb, founder of mwclubb and double winner at the Accelerate to Zero Awards, recognised for his leadership in community-led retrofit and tackling fuel poverty. Matthew shares his journey from oil and gas engineer to climate-focused architecture, and explains why retrofit is one of the biggest opportunities we have to cut emissions, improve health and create local jobs. From whole house retrofit in the North East to working with community buildings and Scottish rugby clubs, he makes the case for people-first design, trusted conversations and scaling solutions from the ground up. This is a discussion about what it will really take to accelerate retrofit, and why community, skills and action now matter more than ever.

    Today we are recording live from BE-ST Fest where we are focusing on ‘Scaling Solutions’. This means we’re exploring how we chart a viable path to a sustainable future. Over the past few years, we’ve seen inspiring projects that prove change is possible, from new materials, products, and systems, to radical rethinking around how we deliver the kind of better new and existing, housing and infrastructure we need. Now the question is: how do we take what works and scale it at pace, so it has a real, lasting positive impact on our places, our people, and our planet?  In our first episode of the series, we welcome Tomas O'Leary, Managing Director of Mosart. With over 30 years’ experience, Tomas has been a pioneer in zero-carbon, energy-efficient design—blending Passivhaus expertise, innovation, and collaboration to create sustainable, high-comfort buildings that contribute to a better, more inclusive future.
