Retrofit Revisit is an important building performance evaluation project to inform the UK’s approach to
improving our housing stock and contribute to our net zero objectives. This publication details a building performance evaluation of 10 retrofitted homes, carried out approximately 10 years after the original retrofit works. It aimed to gather lessons on retrofit and on BPE techniques.
UKCMB’s Technical Director Dr Valentina Marincioni and UKCMB affiliates Toby Cambray and Spyros Efthymiopoulos were involved in the moisture testing of the homes.
On retrofit:
• What has stood the test of time?
• Are there any new lessons on how to carry out retrofit projects?
• Topics of particular interest included (but were not limited to): energy demand, moisture, insulation options (moisture and combustibility), degradation of original solutions (e.g. airtightness).
