Free Construction Retrofit Courses

Retrofitting a property is about upgrading homes for increased energy efficiency and low energy consumption. This can be through a range of activities such as fitting energy-efficient lightbulbs to fitting solar heating.

Property owners are being encouraged to retrofit their homes as an energy-efficient home will be cheaper to run and will have less of an impact on the environment. A higher energy rating can also increase the value of a property.

The West Midlands region has a target to be carbon neutral by 2041, to achieve this, we have lots of work to do.

All new homes are built to an energy-efficient standard but these currently only form a small number of the homes within the region. More homeowners in the region will be encouraged via grant funding to make energy-efficient improvements to their homes. We need tradespeople who are fully trained and qualified to carry out this work.
