WHAT IS RETROFITTING?

This is the word for making houses (Council houses, social housing and private sector) more energy efficient. It involves, among other things, installing better insulation and double glazing. Retrofitting is beneficial to the environment because it reduces energy consumption.

RETROFITTING = GREEN JOBS

To carry out retrofitting that would benefit all the community would need thousands of skilled and trained workers to make materials and install and fit.
