In this episode, Adam Armour-Florence introduces the Retrofit Success Guides, developed in collaboration with Sustainable Housing Action Partnership (SHAP). The discussion explores how these guides aim to support organisations delivering retrofit projects by providing structured, practical and evidence-based approaches.

Guest Poonam Sakarsudha shares her background in communications, highlighting the importance of clear engagement strategies in driving meaningful social and environmental change. Alongside her, Richard Bubb reflects on the collaborative effort behind the guides and their role in addressing the complex challenges of large-scale housing retrofit.

Poonam and Richard emphasise that successful retrofit goes beyond technical delivery, it requires strong communication, resident engagement and ongoing learning. They discuss the importance of monitoring outcomes, ensuring residents can effectively use new technologies like heat pumps, and fostering collaboration across local authorities, housing providers, and communities.
