Progressing Retrofit: Progress, Health & Affordability
Can retrofit serve people and communities?
What is building physics?
How do you put fabric first?
How can we deliver what we need - comfort, health & affordability ?
What is the current policy and practice with grants and could it be better?
Can we see examples of what we can do on our properties?
Should we ever demolish buildings and who decides?
Are you interested in these questions and want to get answers and actively participate in knowledge sharing and promotion of solutions supporting wellbeing of people and planet? Then join us for two days of conference (both in person and online via Zoom), packed with practical help, workshops and interactive dialogue. Meet people who can help and join a practical retrofit session to improve comfort, health, affordability and regeneration of buildings and neighbourhoods like yours.
The conference will focus on retrofit from a holistic perspective. We will consider how retrofit impacts people’s lives, specifically relating to comfort, health and affordability. A broad range of topics will be addressed, from building physics to case studies of how individuals and communities have implemented retrofit measures.
Confirmed Speakers include Bill Bordass, Alix Medlyn Davies of the Place Programme at the Scottish Futures Trust, Andrew McQuatt of Max Fordham LLP, Matt Clubb of mwclubb Architectural Design, and Chris Carus of Loco Home.
There are a number of planned workshops to investigate important themes including a Dialogue on Day 1 to investigate Triggers for Retrofit and all attendees on Day 2 are invited to bring a retrofit project that they would like to investigate in a workshop.
