We’re looking at social housing retrofit in February, with a digital festival focused on how we can deliver social housing decarbonisation at scale.
The free-to-attend sessions will run 15th and 16th February LIVE on our Crowdcast channel.
What does good retrofit look like – 10am, 15th February
As social landlords continue to invest in carbon-cutting retrofit programmes, this session will ask at what a good retrofit looks like for all stakeholders. The panellists will discuss the key lessons learned from successful demonstrator projects and also the importance of post-retrofit monitoring.
