Abstract

As the demand for retrofit services from tenement owners increases in response to stricter energy efficiency regulations and growing awareness among flat owners, property factors will need to be become more knowledgeable about retrofit. Doing so will enable them to maintain a competitive advantage and / or capitalise on the opportunities presented by this transformative shift in the housing sector.

This toolkit is designed to support property factors on this journey. It offers an introduction to current best practices in energy efficiency upgrades for tenements and directs users to key resources for further learning. As such, much of the content will also be helpful to flat owners as well as other building professionals.
