How Do We Make Retrofit Funding Work? - Virtual Conference

Join this 2-hour virtual conference which will look at how we can remove financial barriers to retrofit and innovative funding models.

What is this conference about? 

The evidence for the need for retrofit is undeniable – we need buildings across the UK to be more energy efficient because we need to:

  • Reduce Carbon Emissions 
  • Lower Energy Costs for Owners & Tenants 
  • Boost Property Value & Resilience 
  • Meet Government Climate Targets & Regulations 
  • Support Green Jobs & Economic Growth 

However, to make this possible, retrofit needs to be paid for.

A lack of funding and finance is a barrier to the acceleration of retrofit at scale.

Initial upfront costs can mean property owners hesitate to retrofit, or retrofit to a lower standard. The need for retrofit is only growing, and therefore so is the pressure to fund it.

To address this market barrier, innovative funding solutions are coming into play – things like green mortgages, pay as you save models, and many other models being piloted across the UK.

These models will not only help the property owners, but the supply chains that can then tap into this work.

Come along to this session to hear from different panellists on their funding models and concepts that will drive this and enable retrofit at scale.

What will I achieve? 

By attending this virtual conference, you will: 

  • What different funding models are on the market
  • What funding models are currently being piloted and how they work
  • How this impacts the funder, client and delivery partners

Who will I hear from? 

We will are in the process of confirming speakers and will update when we have these confirmed.

This conference is suited for those interested in retrofit and how to fund it.
