COMING SOON

  • The Retrofit Academy Awards

    In 2022, we launched the first-ever Retrofit Academy Awards. This page gives you an overview of what the awards are about, why we decided to start them, and who were the winners, and shortlisted people and projects were, in our launch year.

    If you would like to get involved in 2023’s awards, please complete this short form to express your interest. We will then share all of the details with you as soon as they are released.

    Read more about TRA Awards and Futurebuild from 2022, in our featured blog post.

  • The Retrofit Academy Awards 2022 will recognise excellence in retrofitting across the market, from Retrofit Coordinators, to installers, social landlords and individual projects. We will also recognise the Rising Stars in this exciting, vibrant market, at a crucially important time for our industry.

    The awards will be presented at one of the biggest events of the year for professionals in the built environment, Futurebuild 2023 at London’s ExCel on Tuesday 7 March 2023 and are free to attend with informal attire welcome.

    These awards were born as we want to recognise hard work and dedication to outstanding retrofitting projects across the UK, of which there have been many!

    “Winning one of these awards will identify the best our industry has to offer. They recognise excellence across the twin challenges of increasing the quality and the scale of retrofit in the UK. They will identify the leading professionals making their mark in the PAS 2035 era – and the projects that demonstrate that good practice and good value are not mutually exclusive.”


    David Pierpoint, CEO

    The closing date for March 2022 has now passed for this year’s awards.
