Preceding the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Summit, Radian was delighted to host a conference and debate about the issues related to retrofitting existing homes. Radian strongly believe that retrofit needs to be a key part of government strategy, if targets of slashing CO2 emissions by 80% in existing buildings are to be met.
A panel of high profile speakers, was assembled to deliver their unique insight into the issues facing those with the challenge of retrofitting homes. The climax of the event was a Question Time Debate with panellists and delegates discussing some of the key issues which we face.
