Retrofit Accelerator - Workplaces
Buildings are responsible for about 40 per cent of the UK’s total carbon footprint. We need urgent action to meet zero carbon emission targets.
Retrofit Accelerator - Workplaces (also referred to as RE:FIT) was established in 2009 as an award-winning programme part of the Mayor's £34 million Energy for Londoners wider programme.
The Accelerator helped a range of organisations including London boroughs, NHS bodies, central government departments, schools and other educational establishments, and cultural and heritage organisations to implement retrofit projects.
The difference we made
Retrofit Accelerator – Workplaces has already delivered over £260m worth of investment projects to save energy.
What Retrofit Accelerator has achieved.
Spotlight on
Joint public sector retrofit procurement
London’s workplaces must be made zero carbon through better designed and more energy efficient buildings.
Retrofit Accelerator - Workplaces offered support to bring together multiple retrofit projects to simplify procurement and aid access to finance and funding.
The support we provided
Retrofit Accelerator – Workplaces offered public sector organisations fully funded support through:
- the programme delivery unit, an expert team that provided free end-to-end support needed to get projects up, running and successfully implemented
- the easy to use RE:FIT framework of energy service companies, which saved time and resources for organisations that were procuring retrofit services and works which - as an energy performance contracting framework - guaranteed energy and cost savings.
