In this blog, our Research and Evaluation lead Helen Grimshaw, reflects on her involvement in Retrofit Revisit, and what the findings mean for our work at Carbon Co-op.

The opportunity to evaluate a retrofit project doesn’t come along often. You might find that surprising given the innovative nature of the work we’re involved with, but it often boils down to a lack of budget and access. But knowing what works well and what could be better, is hugely important if we are to deliver more, and better quality retrofit.

So being invited to act as an Evaluator on a large scale evaluation project, revisiting a series of deep retrofits completed around 10 years ago, we jumped at the chance!
