Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Retrofit Credits with HACT
Q: Can you share an example of a successful project and the impact?
One notable example involves Riverside Group with Knauf materials, where Knauf supported the works by purchasing the retrofit credits, creating a circular funding model that funds additional works and supports tenants, with a nine-year commitment from Knauf and recognition through an Retrofit Academy Prize.
Retrofit Credits with HACT
Q: What's the time scale involved from joining to monetizing the first credits?
Timeline depends on the cycle, but typically after onboarding and the auditing steps, the first tranche of credits can be monetized within six to nine months, with ongoing semi-annual settlements continuing up to 2042 and beyond.
Retrofit Credits with HACT
Q: So say, for example, I was a social landlord. How would the process work for me?
The process starts with the landlord contacting the Retrofit Credits program, providing basic project data, and onboarding the installed works. Data such as street addresses, postcodes, and installed measures are collected, then calculations, audits, and credit issuance are handled by the program, with ongoing visibility of projected lifetime returns and monetization.
The importance of ventilation with Farmwood
Q: Welcome Nathan. And can you tell us a bit about your background in the space, please?
Nathan discusses a 25-year career in ventilation, tracing Farmwood's growth from a small team to a specialist organization that emphasizes problem-solving, regulation, and a deep commitment to health outcomes in retrofit projects.
Community Health Impact Assessments (CHIAs) with the National Retrofit Hub
Q: Who are the National Retrofit Hub and what is its purpose?
The National Retrofit Hub is a community interest company formed to connect, convene, and coordinate retrofit work across different partners, focusing on knowledge exchange, reducing duplication, and strengthening the retrofit system with cross-cutting themes and six working groups.
