A whole-house approach to retrofit is necessary to deliver a high-quality built environment supporting the health and wellbeing of occupants. In this session you’ll hear experts discuss a range of technical aspects of successful retrofit to traditional buildings, including the recently published BS 40104:2025 Domestic Retrofit Assessment, air tightness testing, moisture properties of insulation materials, building regulations, and the importance of leveraging the co-benefits of retrofit through the NRH's 'Measuring Outcomes & Impact Evaluation' project.
