The opening session brings together leaders in retrofit to explore how we continue to retrofit, repair, and maintain existing buildings, taking a high-level look at the politics, policies and progress shaping the retrofit of London's commercial schemes. What retrofit-led policies have local authorities adopted and implemented? What external factors are likely to challenge the sector over the next five years? How can we de-risk our projects, and why does retrofit matter even more in a tough economic climate?
