Saltaire Retrofit Reimagined is an ongoing prototype for a community centred home retrofit project.  Working within the Saltaire World Heritage Site we are engaging with the community of homeowners, tenants and landlords to understand their perspective of what an energy and insulation retrofit programme needs to be.  Informed by this engagement we will produce bespoke and heritage sensitive guidance for making upgrades to the listed homes and carry out further engagement with local trades and contractors to help start the process of building a supply chain. Too many retrofit and energy initiatives fail to achieve their projected impact due to the lack of an adequate interface with specific communities and building types, we want to help make that connection to ensure public funding is well spent. Please take time to read of some of our initial engagement insights below...

We are grateful to Footwork for their support for this project through their people and place fund.
