Retro Expo is a new exhibition and conference focusing on delivering energy efficient refurbishment and retrofit of domestic and commercial buildings in the UK.

With the launch of The Green Deal in October 2012, the refurbishment sector is about to take a giant leap forward. The pressure to deliver more energy efficient and sustainable buildings, coupled with rising energy prices and the national commitment to the Carbon Reduction Target, are all driving urgent action on improving and maximising the potential of existing UK building stock – a footprint accounting for 43% of all of the UK’s carbon emissions. Add to this the economic need to make more of what we have rather than replace, and the business landscape is a fertile one for those who supply or operate in the refurbishment and retrofit sector.

Already a £28 billion industry in the UK, the refurbishment of domestic dwellings, schools, hospitals and commercial property is the largest growth sector in the built environment. Retro Expo will provide visitors with an essential guide to the technologies, products and services required to help the refurbishment and retrofit industry face up to a daunting 21st century challenge.

Attracting a B2B audience of financiers, policymakers, contractors, designers, assessors and installers, Retro Expo will bring together a vibrant and evolving supply chain to explore, learn and share experience on how to put refurbishment and retrofit at the core of policy and practice.
