Retrofit in Scotland's Tenements & Flats - 'Lunch n' Learn'
Online

This 1 hour Lunch 'n' Learn will explore why retrofitting Scotland's iconic tenements is vital for tenants as well as the transition to net zero: Scotland's tenements, especially Glasgow's pre-1919 sandstone homes, face retrofit challenges due to poor conditions and high energy costs. Addressing these issues is vital for Scotland's 2045 net-zero goal and offers opportunities for the retrofit sector. The session covers economic and practical aspects of retrofitting, highlighting challenges, efforts, and benefits for residents and the net-zero transition.
