We will be holding our next Retrofit event on Monday 24th January 6-7.30pm online

Retrofit is a complex and technical process requiring a ‘whole house’ approach. This session looks at the practical guidance and support that is out there to ensure that we undertake our retrofits well so that the buildings will perform as designed.  There will be time for networking and smaller group discussions during the online event.
