By 2050, the UK is committed to reducing its net emissions of greenhouse gases by 100% relative to 1990 levels.

Retrofitting new building envelopes to existing building stock will go a long way towards meeting this legislative goal by harnessing the existing embodied carbon of the building and substantially reducing future emissions derived from the consumption of heating energy. It will deliver contemporary environmental standards for generations to come.

This example of a retrofit project is an exemplar of how best to reduce carbon emissions sustainably.
