Retrofit is one of the biggest opportunities we have to reduce carbon emissions from UK homes and to do it well we need to understand more than measures, specifications and compliance. We need to understand carbon itself, where it sits within domestic retrofit, how our decisions affect it and how we communicate those decisions to homeowners, clients and colleagues.
If you work in retrofit, this knowledge is increasingly fundamental to what we do.

This Carbon Literacy for Domestic Retrofit course, is accredited by The Carbon Literacy Project, dedicated to domestic retrofit. Here are some testimonials:
What sets this course apart is that it is not about memorising facts or keeping up with the latest policy. It develops the judgement and critical thinking skills that every retrofit professional needs. It gave me the confidence to ask better questions, challenge assumptions, evaluate competing solutions and better understand the wider consequences of the everyday decisions we make.
Despite working in this field daily, I walked away having learned a huge amount. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their carbon literacy.
It left me much better informed, more confident in advising clients, and motivated to make meaningful changes in both my business and personal life.
For those who feel climate change is too overwhelming, I would suggest going on the Domestic Retrofit Carbon Literacy course. I felt that small changes can have a very positive impact.
