This course prepares you to have confidence in the retrofit design, solve on-site problems and deliver high-quality results.

Using case studies that mirror real-world scenarios, problem-solving exercises, and expert guidance, you will deepen your understanding of the key elements of delivering deep fabric retrofits, including moisture management, airtightness and more, while tackling the unique challenges of retrofit projects.

Discover how to manage retrofit risks and costs, reduce unintended consequences and deliver quality retrofit using tried and tested techniques and applicable to EnerPHit, AECB Carbonlite, PAS2035/20 and other standards and guidance.

• Understand EnerPHit and other retrofit standards.
• Explore critical topics such as insulation, moisture, airtightness, thermal bridging, ventilation, and heat pumps.
• Gain practical knowledge and skills to minimize risks and ensure successful project delivery on-site.
• Develop confidence in your ability to plan, cost, and manage retrofits, even when unexpected challenges arise.

This course consists of four live, interactive online sessions led by trainers experienced in retrofit projects of all scales:

Session 1: Introduction to retrofit, whole building approaches, and introduction to moisture in buildings.

Session 2: Exploration of moisture risk, insulation, and problem areas in retrofits.

Session 3: Thermal bridging, airtightness and wind tightness, building services in retrofit.

Session 4: Building services continued, case study tutorial and retrofit in reality - explore what happens in real situations and the practical challenges when a project gets to site.
