In this week’s episode Imogen Bhogal and the team visit Wolfson College, a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England. Built in 1974 when buildings were not designed with sustainability in mind, Wolfson College has since undergone a mammoth retrofitting project resulting in the college becoming the first zero carbon higher education institution in the United Kingdom! @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow
