Over the coming decades, we need to radically improve the energy efficiency of millions of homes across the UK. This will require a huge number of retrofit professionals and tradespeople getting the job done right – first time every time.
The Retrofit Academy is working in partnership with government and industry to drive the development of 200,000 retrofitters nationwide.
Our mission is to drive
the development of 200,000 competent retrofitters by 2030.
