Retrofit your home: Practical advice for a more efficient future

Thinking about repairing or retrofitting your property?

Join architect Jo Parry-Geddes from MILL Architects and Kevin Stugeon, Senior Associate at Gillespie McAndrew alongside speakers from Under One Roof, Edinburgh World Heritage and Gecko Glazing, for an evening of practical guidance on caring for your property and improving its energy efficiency.

Whether you want to tackle essential repairs, lower your energy bills, reduce your environmental impact or make your home more comfortable, this event will help you understand where to begin. We’ll explore the importance of maintaining and repairing your building’s fabric alongside retrofit improvements, with advice relevant to traditional and historic Scottish homes.

What you can expect:

  • Where to start with fabric repairs and retrofit, and how to prioritise works
  • Why addressing damp, water ingress and maintenance is essential to improving energy efficiency
  • Insulation, heating, glazing and renewable energy options
  • Considerations for traditional buildings, listed properties and shared tenements
  • What to expect in terms of costs, timescales and planning your project

Following the talks, there will be informal helpdesks and time to mingle, meet the speakers and ask questions about your own property.
