5-7 March 2024, ExCel London
Futurebuild is the leading sustainable built environment conference in the UK, and it’s set to be even bigger this year with the introduction of the National Retrofit Conference, curated by The Retrofit Academy, running as part of the three-day event.
Energiesprong UK is pleased to be organising two talks as part of the Knowledge Programme within the National Retrofit Conference – one will be reflecting on the lessons learned from deep retrofit projects, and the other is focussing on the resident experience of living in homes that have been retrofitted.
We will also be participating in other sessions to discuss innovation, launch a new Innovate UK funded collaborative project, learnings from the SHDF programme, and inputting into a 10-point plan for retrofit success. Full details are below:
Matt Wood will be joined by Caroline Withey from DESNZ and Derek Horrocks from NHDG to discuss what we’ve learned from Waves 2.1 and 2.2 of the SHDF programme, and how we can achieve greater results for high-quality retrofits in the future.
In this session on the Future X stage - curated by DESNZ, Innovate UK and Carbon Trust - you will hear about a new Innovate UK funded project we’ll be leading that will foster cross-industry collaboration to help tackle the multiple barriers to retrofitting homes.
Our Collaboration Manager Ele George will be joining a panel to look at disruptive technologies and innovations that are promising to increase scale and improve outcomes for retrofit projects. Andy Merrin from United Living Property Services will chair the session and Ele will be joined on the panel by Danielle Beaton, Director of Saving Energy UK and Ross Holleron from Sero.
Emily Braham, Director of Strategy & Operations, will join this panel discussion to pull together all the themes discussed on the opening day – Skills, Innovation, and Policy – to develop a high-level action plan for delivering successful retrofits.
This session will provide insights into a deep whole house retrofit programme. One of our delivery partners, Bow Tie Construction, will talk about their learnings from designing an innovative offsite constructed ventilation system and Solution Provider Osborne will talk about their lessons learned from delivering deep retrofit projects. We will also hear from housing provider Enfield Council on their experiences and what they plan to do next and how Turner & Townsend and Energiesprong UK collaborated to support this retrofit programme.
