Smarter Retail HVAC Retrofits: How to Cut Costs, Carbon, and Complexity
Achieve sustainability goals, lower costs, and future-proof your operations with a smarter approach to retrofitting.
80% of the buildings we have now will still be with us in 2050, so the need for retrofitting retail property is inevitable. However, building the internal business case for investment can be challenging and implementation often dependent on the perceived business case by landlords.
Suitable for sustainability, property and operations professionals, this event will:
- Set the scene for effective retail retrofits to reduce energy, carbon, and costs
- Dive into real-world examples of retailers future-proofing their estates and reducing spend with smarter, simpler, low-carbon solutions
- Kickstart your retrofit implementation planning to achieve net-zero targets.
