Understanding place-based retrofit - Webinar and resource

The National Retrofit Hub has published a new resource, Understanding Place-Based Retrofit, developed in partnership with UK Green Building Council and the Energy Demand Research Centre, and supported by the MCS Foundation.

The resource aims to establish a shared definition of place-based retrofit, setting out core principles and common language to support consistent policy, funding and delivery approaches. It also highlights the importance of meaningful community engagement and locally responsive delivery models.

A webinar will be held on 18 March at 11:00 GMT to introduce the resourc and explore:

  • How place-based retrofit is defined
  • The principles that distinguish a place-based approach
  • Why consistent definitions matter
  • How clearer language can support sector-wide alignment

Participants will also be invited to contribute to the next stage of work: a practical delivery guide.
