Accelerating Net Zero Living in Perth and Kinross - Pathfinder

继第一阶段Pathfinder Places项目成功之后，珀斯和金罗斯委员会与Nicki Souter Associates、爱丁堡大学和Blairgowrie & Rattray社区信托基金合作，正在寻求开发关键的社区共同创建的基于地点的解决方案，以解决第一阶段地区居民和企业投票选出的非技术障碍。该项目将探索如何利用参与合作伙伴的专业知识最好地执行这些想法。开发工作将集中在两个关键主题上：**振兴家园**将通过与当地供应商和安装商的合作，确定绿色技能差距，探索和修改客户再索赔模式的资金，并为可持续改造项目创建可行的商业模式，来研究整个系统的改造方法。还将开展工作，建立一个当地的可信贸易商网络和供应商/安装商框架，优先考虑当地企业，供私人和社会住房房东和业主使用。**连接区域旅行**将调查两项新服务的可行性，重点是农村小镇阿伯菲尔德。一个将着眼于从小镇到珀斯的快速巴士路线，另一个将专注于连接周围村庄和阿伯菲尔迪的小巴服务。工作还将着眼于与医疗设施或火车站等重要目的地同步公交时刻表，提供快速公交服务以及点对点交通服务的可行性。此外，它将研究降低票价的选择，以刺激需求并鼓励通勤模式的转变，最终努力减少道路上的车辆数量。将采用快速失败的敏捷方法，允许项目的元素具有适应性，同时仍然专注于关键障碍的解决方案。我们将通过广泛的监测和评估来最大限度地实现知识转移，与外部合作伙伴合作，确保我们的发现和相关的学习成果在英国各地传播，传播到当地政府、企业和社区团体。该项目将重点关注珀斯和金罗斯地方政府区域，特别是Aberfeldy和Blairgowrie社区。

Following on from a successful Phase 1 Pathfinder Places Project, Perth & Kinross Council, in partnership with Nicki Souter Associates, the University of Edinburgh and the Blairgowrie & Rattray Community Trust are seeking to develop the key community co-created place-based solutions that address non-technical barriers as voted for by residents and businesses in the Phase 1 areas.The project will seek to explore how these ideas can be best executed utilising the expertise of participating partners. The development work will focus on two key themes:**Revitalising Homes** will look at a whole systems approach to retrofit through engagement with local suppliers and installers, identifying green skills gaps, exploring and modifying the customer re-claim model for funding and creating a viable business model for a sustainable retrofit project. Work will also be carried out to create a local Trusted Trader Network and supplier/installer framework prioritising local businesses to be utilised by private and social housing landlords and owners.**Connecting Regional Travel** will investigate the viability of two new services focusing on the rural town of Aberfeldy. One will look at an express bus route out of the town to Perth, and another will concentrate on a minibus service connecting surrounding villages with Aberfeldy. Work will also look at synchronising bus schedules with vital destinations like healthcare facilities or train stations, provision of express bus services and feasibility of peer-to-peer transport services. Additionally, it will investigate reduced-cost fare options to stimulate demand and encourage a shift in commuting patterns, ultimately striving to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.A fail-fast agile approach will be taken allowing elements of the project to be adaptable, whilst still focused on the solutions to key barriers. We will maximise knowledge transfer through extensive monitoring and evaluation, working in collaboration with external partners to ensure that our findings and associated learnings are disseminated across the UK, reaching local government, businesses and community groups.The project will focus on the Perth & Kinross local authority area, with a particular focus on the communities of Aberfeldy and Blairgowrie.
