09 May 2024

About the event

As the urgency to address climate change intensifies; retrofitting existing commercial buildings plays a pivotal role in achieving net zero goals. This is particularly evident when considering the fact that; according to the UKGBC; approximately 70% of the UK’s non-residential building stock constructed before the year 2000. In this session you will join industry experts as they share insights; strategies; and real-world examples that showcase the critical factors in successfully retrofitting commercial spaces for a more sustainable future.
