Retrofit North: Decarbonising Existing Buildings at Scale

Decarbonising existing buildings is one of the most significant long-term challenges facing the built environment. From social housing and public estates to commercial retrofit and adaptive reuse, upgrading existing assets is critical to achieving net zero targets while supporting regeneration. 

This session explores how retrofit programmes are being delivered at scale across the North, including funding routes, technical challenges and delivery pressures. 

The discussion will examine managing disruption, tenant engagement, supply chain capability and measuring carbon performance improvements. 

Designed for contractors, housing providers, consultants and SME specialists, the session provides practical insight into how retrofit is moving from ambition to delivery.
