THE deadline to enter The Retrofit Academy Awards is looming large, with January 16 the final date to submit nominations.

The annual Retrofit Academy Awards ceremony will take place at ExCel London on March 5 on the first day of The National Retrofit Conference, which is being held for the first time at this year’s FutureBuild.

Bringing together retrofit businesses and retrofitters from across the country, the awards celebrate the work being carried out in the field of housing decarbonisation.

This year’s ceremony will include awards recognising excellence in applying PAS2035 and delivering high-quality retrofit at scale. This includes the Retrofit Coordinator of the Year, celebrating those excelling in the coordination role, and Retrofit Contractor of the year, which awards the company that has provided the best solution for a client’s large-scale retrofit programme.

Two new categories are being added this year: Retrofit Installer of the Year and The Retrofit Social Value Award.

The full list of categories include:

  • Retrofit Coordinator of the Year
  • Retrofit Assessor of the Year
  • Retrofit Contractor of the Year
  • Retrofit Installer of the Year
  • Retrofit Designer of the Year
  • Retrofit Assessment and Coordination Service
  • Best Retrofit Employer Award
  • Retrofit Academy Graduate Award
  • Best Local Authority Retrofit Programme
  • Best Social Housing Retrofit Programme
  • The Retrofit Social Value Award

David Pierpoint, CEO at The Retrofit Academy, said, “The Retrofit Academy Awards were established to reward high quality retrofitting across the market and highlight the fantastic work by retrofitters and exemplary individual projects. It’s also a great way to see how the industry has progressed, and to bring together organisations, stakeholders, and individuals from across the sector. It’s no easy task to tackle the challenges that face this industry so celebrating those who have done a marvellous job at leading the way and showcasing progress that is being made across the country is important.”
