Course Overview
Retrofitting our homes and buildings is one of the biggest challenges the UK faces in our efforts to reach net zero. Many homes aren’t built for purpose, in fact the UK has some of the oldest and worst housing stock in Europe. Heat is constantly leaking out through windows, doors, and uninsulated walls, making our heating systems work harder for more money and less warmth. We’re paying for wasted energy.
While any home can benefit from retrofitting, older homes usually have more problems. Common issues include damp, condensation, draughts and lack of insulation that makes them harder to heat. If we retrofitted the majority of homes across the UK, it would make a huge difference in reducing our collective carbon footprint.
This online course has been written by subject matter experts and all 6 modules have been developed to give you the best possible learning experience.
After each module, you will be required to complete an assessment which, when all completed will be marked by our qualified assessors and will form the final submission for your certification.
Our tutors are always on hand, if you have any questions you can submit them through the portal and someone will respond within 24 hours,
