Retrofit Talks
Retrofit Talks is our webinar series covering case studies, discussions and technical know-how. We will be focusing on natural materials such as hemp, new technologies and retrofit solutions as we look to accelerate retrofit knowledge.
In June we will also be hosting an online mini series all about jobs and skills in the future retrofit workforce, with construction partners, charities and training providers.
Finally, look out for further special events including knowledge sharing and building tours.
