What is Domestic Retrofit?

AT STC, we are thrilled to offer comprehensive courses in Domestic Retrofit, an essential practice in today's pursuit of sustainable living and building practices.

Domestic Retrofit encompasses a range of strategies aimed at enhancing the energy efficiency and environmental performance of residential buildings. Through our courses, participants will delve into the principles and practical applications of retrofitting, gaining valuable insights into upgrading existing homes to meet modern sustainability standards.

But how does Domestic Retrofit contribute to the broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions? Sit back, and let us explain…

Energy Efficiency:

By optimizing insulation, upgrading heating and cooling systems, and installing energy-efficient appliances, Domestic Retrofit significantly reduces the energy consumption of residential buildings. This translates to lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating, cooling, and electricity usage, thereby contributing to the overall effort to achieve net-zero emissions.

Carbon Reduction:

Retrofitting existing homes reduces the need for new construction, which often entails significant carbon emissions associated with materials production and transportation. By maximizing the performance of existing buildings, Domestic Retrofit minimizes the carbon footprint of the housing sector.

Renewable Integration:

Many retrofit strategies incorporate renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and heat pumps. By harnessing clean energy sources, retrofitted homes can further decrease reliance on fossil fuels, ultimately advancing the transition to a net-zero carbon economy.

Our Domestic Retrofit courses are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to drive sustainable change in the residential sector. Whether you're a homeowner looking to upgrade your own property or a professional seeking to specialise in sustainable building practices, our courses offer practical guidance and expert insights to help you make a meaningful impact.

Join us in our commitment to sustainability through Domestic Retrofit education. Together, we can build a greener, more resilient future for generations to come.
