The Challenge:

Retrofit is essential; It’s not easy, it’s far more challenging than new-build, and it takes a team of knowledgeable caring professionals to accomplish schemes that work.

We need our future professionals to understand the complexity and embrace the constraints and challenges.

Timber Development UK in partnership with AECB, BE-ST, NMITE, Edinburgh Napier University, Passivhaus Trust.
