As the New Year begins, the retrofit sector faces a huge opportunity. With growing ambition to deliver warm, healthy, low-carbon homes at scale, this masterclass focuses on what needs to change - and what needs to accelerate - to make retrofit work in practice. This session looks ahead to the next phase of the UK’s retrofit journey; we’ll examine how funding mechanisms, market maturity, and workforce capability must align to move from ambition to implementation. Drawing on recent experience and emerging trends, we’ll explore what “good” looks like for retrofit delivery in the year ahead, and how organisations can position themselves to succeed. The session will help attendees start the year with a shared vision for retrofit in 2026.

Join us for a peer learning session with WPS and Constructive Thinking to examine the retrofit of non-traditional property archetypes. Drawing on examples from Wolverhampton Homes SHDF Projects (Waves 1 & 2), this session will showcase completed and ongoing schemes, highlighting practical design solutions and sector-wide implications.

This masterclass is for housing providers who are seeking to increase their understanding of environmental sustainability, causes of climate change, greenhouse gas accounting and principles of action planning to address environmental sustainability through retrofit programmes.

Learn the key requirements for whole-house retrofit and how to ensure compliance for quality outcomes. PAS 2035 is focused on regulating the process in which a retrofit is delivered, this is unique and different to any other publicly available standard. This masterclass will take you through the six key steps of the PAS 2035 standard: Intended Outcomes; Risk Assessment; Whole Dwelling Assessment; Design and Coordination; Installation; and, Monitoring and Evaluation.
