Why Enter the Retrofit Academy Awards?
In today’s world, where sustainable growth and energy savings are more important than ever, the retrofit sector plays a key role in improving our domestic properties. Through the efforts of dedicated experts and creative projects, retrofitting helps save energy, lower carbon emissions, and build strong, sustainable communities. The Retrofit Academy Awards aim to celebrate the top achievements in this field, honouring those who work to make our buildings better for everyone.
The Awards inspire industry leaders, decision-makers, and local officials to keep working towards a future where high-quality retrofitting is standard practice. These awards are not just about recognition—they symbolise a push towards a world where every home is warm, healthy, and low carbon.
