Whole house retrofit plan
LETI Climate emergency retrofit guide, How existing homes can be adapted to meet UK climate targets, published by LETI in October 2021, defines a whole house retrofit plan as: ‘A coherent plan which sets out the proposed retrofit measures for a particular house. In creating the plan, the effect and interaction of the measures will have been considered to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the building fabric or the internal living environment. The plan could be staged over several years.’
