What is Retrofit?
Retrofit is the process of upgrading existing buildings to improve energy efficiency and sustainability. As part of the UK’s growing focus on sustainability and carbon reduction, Retrofit involves making homes and commercial buildings more energy-efficient by improving insulation, heating systems, windows, and renewable energy installations.
This industry is rapidly growing, with the UK government investing heavily in improving the energy performance of buildings to meet carbon reduction targets. As a result, the demand for skilled professionals in the retrofit sector is rising, and now is the perfect time to get involved.
