Energising Change: A Retrofit Revolution

Discover The Sustainability Benefits Of Upgrading Buildings

Presentations Across The Day

Why This Matters

What You'll Learn:

  • Which sites are in the highest demand for retrofit and the key considerations around site selection
  • The future pipeline of retro-fitted schemes in the UK and where the opportunities lie
  • What the sustainability benefits are of retrofitting and upgrading buildings
  • How to navigate politics and planning when dealing with a retrofit 
  • Investigate the opportunities and challenges when investing in a building with the sole aim of retrofitting and making a profit, or retrofitting your existing portfolio

 

How You'll Do More Business: With ambitious net zero targets looming, the urgency to decarbonise real estate is apparent. An estimated 80% of the building stock that will be here in 2050 already exists, calling for governments and real estate players to significantly step up retrofitting efforts. However, real estate companies face a lack of established best practices and complicated still regulations.  Hear from our expert speakers on the opportunities and challenges of investing and constructing retrofitted schemes, discover the unique benefits of doing so and learn the best practices to be able to deliver in this ever-evolving market.
