Effective resident engagement can be the key to successful decarbonisation retrofit. This masterclass will be perfect for any social landlord looking to develop engagement strategies for complex projects. This masterclass will cover: how to develop a resident engagement strategy, how to engage residents on decarbonisation and how to help residents realise the benefits from decarbonisation projects.

This masterclass will investigate the specific impacts of combatting fuel poverty as a result of retrofitting. Benefits not only include those to the environment, but improving living conditions for residents who are experiencing the rising levels of fuel poverty. Retrofitting a property and reducing fuel poverty will benefit a multitude of residents, for example families, those who are vulnerable and young residents. Reducing fuel poverty will not only have physical benefits, but also economic benefits of increasing disposable income, and knock on social benefits such as improved education.

This session has been set up to show the social benefits of a retrofit project. It is evident that retrofitting can have a multitude of benefits for properties such as, reducing energy bills for residents, creating cleaner air in the local area, and reducing carbon emissions on the wider scale. However, this masterclass will investigate the additional social benefits of the process of retrofitting. Through the use of case studies and examples we will endeavour to illustrate the benefits of retrofit on areas, thus further justifying a retrofit project to your senior leadership team and residents.

This masterclass will address how to embed social value and achieve community benefits in retrofit projects.

Engaging residents in retrofit projects is tough due to digital divide. Learn about inclusivity, and offline engagement in this masterclass
