Webinar: Retrofit in Real Life: Challenges, Champions, and City Solutions
19.05.2025
Retrofitting our buildings is one of the most powerful tools cities have to reduce emissions - but it is also one of the hardest to scale. From private homes to public housing, from policy to plumbing, the retrofit revolution requires coordination, creativity, and commitment from every part of the urban system.
In this dynamic 90-minute session, we will explore the retrofit challenge through three essential perspectives: the homeowner trying to navigate complex decisions, the city officials designing support programmes, and the industry players grappling with a growing skills gap. Real stories, practical insights, and honest reflections will help participants understand what is working, what is not, and where we go next.
Date of the Webinar: Tuesday 10 June 2025
Time of the Webinar: 10:00-11:30 CEST
