In response to the climate challenge, carbon and the reduction of carbon emissions has long been an area of focus for improvement. For the construction and housebuilding sector, this is a material ESG issue and one that is equally important for new developments and the upgrading of existing buildings to meet modern net-zero standards.

In this new podcast, we focus on the subject of retrofit in discussion with Gowling WLG Sustainability Partner Ben Stansfield, Construction Professional Support Lawyer Emma Knight and Will Hurst, Managing Editor of the Architects Journal. They explore what retrofit is, the regulatory backdrop, key developments and the challenges and opportunities for businesses and professionals operating in this sector.
