OUR INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS
DRIVING RETROFIT SUCCESS ACROSS KEY INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS
At The Retrofit Academy, we believe that collaboration is the cornerstone of progress. The challenges facing the UK housing market – meeting sustainability targets, reducing carbon emissions, and creating healthy homes – require solutions that span industries. That’s why we partner with key sectors, including government, social housing providers, industry leaders, and educators, to bring impactful, sustainable change to the retrofit landscape.
Each sector plays a vital role in ensuring the success of retrofitting initiatives, and together, we’re building a workforce, a network, and a strategy that addresses today’s challenges while paving the way for a greener tomorrow. Explore how we work within these sectors and the unique contributions they make to the mission of making every home warm, healthy, and low carbon.
GOVERNMENT
The Retrofit Academy partners with central, regional, and local government, as well as key agencies like the Net Zero Hubs, to address the retrofit skills gap and build a workforce capable of delivering housing decarbonisation at scale. Our qualifications underpin the UK’s retrofit curriculum, ensuring professionals meet PAS 2035 standards and can confidently deliver sustainable, high-quality projects.
Social Housing
We work closely with housing associations, landlords, and local authorities to transform social housing into energy-efficient, warm, and affordable homes. Through landmark funding schemes like the £3.8 billion Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), we empower providers to upgrade their housing stock, tackle inefficiencies, and deliver both economic and social benefits to communities.
EDUCATION
The Retrofit Academy partners with further and higher education institutions to build the pipeline of skilled professionals needed for housing decarbonisation. Through our established network of Retrofit Academy Hubs, we make it easier for organisations to deliver first-class retrofit training, supporting local projects and creating jobs within their communities.
