This week we're taking a quick break from the normal programming to give you a slice of the excitement to happen at the International Retrofit Conference: a not-to-be-missed retrofit event on 2nd November.

Sara spoke to Caitriona Jordan, Head of Retrofit Programmes at BE-ST and Rachael Owens, Sara’s co-director at the National Retrofit Hub, as Sara holds that role as well as Head of Citizen Engagement at BE-ST.

As BE-ST and the National Retrofit Hub will be co-hosting the day, they got together to let you all know about the upcoming International Retrofit Conference. There are going to be some incredible speakers and workshops and it struck us as the hosts that perhaps we needed to tell you a bit more about what’s planned and why. A sample of who we will hear from includes Smith Mordak of UKGBC, Rob Deegan the Department of Principal Officer, Residential Energy Efficiency, Government of Ireland, Energiesprong Global Alliance, Professor Sean Smith, Civic Square, Zero Waste Scotland, People Powered Retrofit and so much more.
