Host Jonathan Newton was joined by Sarah Price, Director at Spruce Retrofit Consulting Ltd, to discuss the importance of understanding retrofit standards.

Sarah gives an overview of the standards that are available, the differences between them and the obstacles practitioners face when applying these standards. The discussion also provides insights into the measures housing stock owners can take to ensure best practice and the steps they can take towards retrofit success such as focusing on their intended outcomes of the retrofit project, finding reliable contractors, the use of retrofit designers, and learning from performance evaluation and feedback.
