Masterclasses

In this Masterclass, Billy Cliffen, Senior Consultant at Turner & Townsend will talk you through the process of developing a plan for the retrofit interventions that you will deploy in the project and breaks down the complexities of the relevant cost caps.

This Masterclass will introduce the 2023 updates to the PAS 2035 standard alongside the context of those bidding for Wave 2.2 funding.

Solar photovoltaics (PV) are a popular retrofit measure, however, RPs with certain archetypes within their housing stock (e.g. flats, apartments) have traditionally felt "locked out" of the rooftop solar market. Using the Your Housing Group (YHG) SHDF Wave 1 project as a case study, Ramin Hakimov - Business Development Manager, Allume - will share how Allume, with their innovative SolShare Solar System, successfully installed rooftop solar across 68 social homes, supporting YHG to achieve their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) goals.

Developing and delivering a successful retrofit project requires a strong resident engagement plan. However, there is a persistent digital divide between households in the UK, with around 1.5 million homes still without internet access. This can make delivering your engagement strategy much more challenging. This masterclass will cover: • The potential 'whys' which explain why people are not digitally connected • The importance of not leaving any residents behind • Best practice to engage those who are 'offline' • Top tips for focused engagement.

This masterclass with Nattasha Freeman, Project Director for SHQ at Turner & Townsend explains the new changes to the Building Safety Act and discusses how to ensure your delivery is compliant with the regulations.

This Masterclass helps you to use data to understand the performance of your housing stock and why that is needed for product identification.
