Innovation and Industrialisation in Retrofit | RISE Masterclass

In this masterclass, delivered by Ele George of Elevate, we’ll take a closer look at how innovation and industrialised approaches are reshaping retrofit.

With 28 million UK homes needing upgrades or interventions and climate targets fast approaching, we can’t rely on bespoke retrofit projects alone. This session will explore how platform-based, manufacturing-led approaches can deliver retrofit at the pace and scale required – while ensuring quality, cost-effectiveness, and resident wellbeing.

What we’ll cover

You’ll gain practical insights into:

• What industrialised retrofit means, and how it differs from traditional approaches
• Why we need both innovation and standardisation to unlock retrofit at scale
• Real-world examples from the UK and Europe – from offsite façade systems to integrated energy modules
• Key barriers and enablers to scaling up – including skills, finance, and procurement
