What is this session about?

The conference will explore the need to upscale retrofitting opportunities in the public and commercial sectors in Scotland. 

• This Supply Chain Sustainability School Virtual Conference as part of the School's Retrofit Programme, delivered by the School and sponsored by NatWest Group. 

The Conference will hear from guest speakers across a range of sectors such as public sector, tourism, arts, culture and community buildings giving their insights on why advancing retrofit is vital given that the UK Green Building Council estimates 95% of emissions from the built environment over the next 30 years could come from the buildings that exist today, citing that most of the effort to decarbonise should focus on energy efficiency retrofit of existing buildings. 

A panel of industry leading experts including NatWest Group / RBS, BE-ST, Robertsons, and Knight Property will showcase innovations and set out the key challenges for retrofitting non-domestic properties in Scotland including schools, hospitals and workplaces. 

Presentations will showcase good practise to explore innovations around non-domestic retrofit projects in Scotland. Join us to explore retrofit across a variety of non-domestic sectors from tourism and the arts to prisons this conference will tackle the considerations with sensitivity to community benefits and social value from retrofit.
