Session Two: Lessons for the future

This session looks at the current challenges facing retrofit projects for commercial schemes, and what we can do better when designing today's buildings in preparation for their retrofit in the future. We'll explore some of the challenges in current London retrofit schemes, along with actionable ideas to take forward. What could have been done differently in the past to make retrofit easier now, what are the common challenges being faced today, and what are the best ways to overcome them?
