Retrofit & Homes

Retrofit refers to improvement work on existing buildings to improve energy efficiency, making them easier to heat, able to retain heat for longer, and replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. This both reduces energy prices and carbon emissions. With so many beautiful old houses in our county, widespread retrofitting is a critical step towards a low-carbon Dorset. Below you can find a collection of resources to help you retrofit your home.

Below you can find a list of organisations and initiatives supporting retrofitting across Dorset. Click here to add your project to the directory.
