Can you explain retrofit in 60 seconds? ⏱️

Whether you're an Energy Assessor, Retrofit Assessor, Retrofit Coordinator or another built environment professional, you've probably been asked the question:

"What actually is retrofit?"

Explaining it in simple, jargon-free language isn't always easy.

That's why we've created this quick guide - a simple explanation you can use to build your own understanding of retrofit or even share with clients who are new to the concept.

If you're looking for a straightforward way to explain retrofit, save this post for later - or share it with someone who could benefit from a quick introduction.

How does the Home Energy Model calculate fabric heat loss?

Heat escaping through walls, roofs, floors and windows is one of the biggest factors affecting a home's energy performance. But the Home Energy Model goes far beyond U-value calculations.

In our latest Understanding HEM article, we explain how the Home Energy Model dynamically models fabric heat loss and why this approach provides a more realistic picture of building performance.
