WHY RETROFIT?

Better homes need
better skills.

Retrofit is about improving existing homes so they are warmer, healthier and more energy efficient.

It brings together improvements to the building fabric, ventilation, heating and low-carbon technologies. Understanding how those measures work together is increasingly important across construction, housing and property maintenance.

WHOLE HOUSE
THE RETROFIT APPROACH

It isn't about one measure in isolation.

You'll develop an understanding of the whole-house approach to retrofit: how a building performs, how different improvements interact and why work needs to be planned and coordinated properly.

01

Building Fabric

Understand how walls, roofs, floors, windows and insulation influence heat loss, comfort and energy performance.

02

Moisture & Ventilation

Explore damp, mould, condensation and ventilation, and why moisture management matters when homes are improved.

03

Heating & Energy

Build your understanding of energy efficiency, heating improvements and technologies such as heat pumps and solar energy.

04

Retrofit Standards

Learn how retrofit is planned and delivered, including PAS 2035, documentation, responsibilities and key retrofit roles.

SUPPORT THAT GOES FURTHER

The course ends.
Our support doesn't.

Gaining qualifications matters. Knowing what to do with them matters too.

Employment support is built into the Bootcamp rather than added at the end. We'll help you prepare for opportunities, connect with employers and keep moving forward after your training has finished.
