Refurbishing Britain

Refurbishing Britain

It is now completely understood and accepted that refurbishment is the key to achieving a low carbon built environment. The majority of the buildings which exist today will still exist in 2050. For the UK to meet its targets and obligations on carbon emissions, this building stock will have to be refurbished and made much more efficient. This series of seminars takes a wide ranging look at the challenge posed by refurbishment, examines the drivers for change, the commercial case, and especially the mechanisms and functionality of the Green Deal, retrofit measures and solutions, best practice and options for large scale roll out.

All sessions will take place in North Gallery 6 & 7 sponsored by
