Open Meeting #1
Watch the first National Retrofit Hub Open Meeting, where we share and discuss our exciting progress towards identifying and unlocking some of the key levers to enable retrofit at scale.
State of the Nation Review Webinar
The Retrofit Delivery: State of the Nation Review Webinar took place on 8th July 2024. Together with Tara Clinton (Arup) and Donal Brown (Ashden) we gave an overview of the Review and set forward what the next steps are for activity, discussing: retrofit delivery numbers and data statistics; the model types and analytical approaches; the analysis overview; objective mapping and next steps
Open Meeting #2
Watch to hear from our Directors and Working Group Chairs on our progress towards enabling the local delivery of retrofit at scale.
Archetypes Guide & Best Practice
At this event you will hear from authors and contributors to the National Retrofit Hub’s latest resources on Archetyping for Retrofit.
Private Rental Sector Report Webinar
In this webinar, we delve into our Private Rental Sector (PRS) report which explores these challenges and proposes a supported pathway to improved housing that considers the needs of both landlords and tenants. We also outlines key areas where further research is required, as well as actionable recommendations for policy makers.
Measuring Retrofit Outcomes: Defining metrics for success
Watch this webinar for an introduction to our “Measuring Outcomes and Impact Evaluation” workstream, a key initiative emerging from the State of the Nation review, developed by our ‘Delivery Approaches’ working group (WG5).
Retrofit Systems – “Navigating the complexity”
Retrofit is inherently complex, involving diverse stakeholders, systems, and solutions. This session embraces that complexity, featuring insights from academics (e.g., UCL) and practitioners to explore how collaborative, place-based responses can address local needs while meeting broader retrofit objectives.
Green Finance Innovation – “When innovation becomes the norm”
This session explores the role of financial innovation in driving the retrofit agenda, with a spotlight on transformative projects. Speakers will discuss how innovative financial models, such as the credit union approach in Ireland, are breaking down barriers to retrofitting and enabling scalable, sustainable solutions.
Community Led Retrofit – “Redefining retrofit at scale”
This session challenges the perception that community-led retrofit is small-scale and low-impact by showcasing the power and potential of grassroots initiatives. By focusing on diversity, place-based solutions, and breaking free from one-size-fits-all, top-down approaches, we will explore how these efforts can redefine scalability in retrofit practices.
Sharing Results of the Regional Skills Pilot
The National Retrofit Hub and the five regional Net Zero Hubs hosted a webinar on 20th March to disseminate the results of the regional retrofit skills pilots, funded by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero last year. The webinar includes presentations by each of the hub and consolidates learnings from each hub, to set out what place-based skills delivery should look like, and what factors are critical for success.
