One room. One shared mission. Accessing large-scale private finance is now the critical enabler for retrofit at scale. Grants have helped start the journey – but if we want to go further, faster, and cheaper, we need more sustainable approaches.
Join us for our April Retrofit Society 2.0 quarterly meeting with a focus on tackling complex buildings including medium to high rise buildings.
With a renewed focused on finance, this forum is designed to break siloes and make your ambitious projects happen. We’ll explore practical, scalable finance models, demystify risks, and share real-world solutions that unlock retrofit ambitions and deliver healthier, more sustainable homes.
Expect thought-provoking discussion, expert insights, and peer learning, all wrapped into a dynamic, one-day in-person session.
