This resource is tailored to built environment practitioners, developers, architects, developers, engineers, and decision-makers involved in retrofit projects. By providing a centralised repository, the map helps users quickly identify relevant solutions, saving valuable research time and increasing project efficiency and impact.
The Innovation Map also acts as a powerful platform for innovators operating within the retrofit ecosystem, showcasing the breadth and depth of the positive, impactful work underway to make our built environment more sustainable. With innovation efforts often fragmented and knowledge siloed across the sector, the map brings these solutions together for the first time, illuminating the scale of innovation and fostering collaboration to drive down emissions.
This map was developed as part of an Innovation Initiative between UKGBC, Breakthrough Energy and FORE Partnership to drive innovation adoption in commercial retrofit projects.
We would like to thank Breakthrough Energy for funding the development of the map. We would also like to thank FORE Partnership and members of UKGBC’s Solutions & Innovation Advisory Group who provided feedback on the map structure, all the innovators that responded to the consultation and key industry stakeholders that supported with specific sections of the map.
If you are interested in applying any of these innovative solutions to real world projects, or have any sustainability challenges of your own, UKGBC may be able to support. Please reach out to innovation@ukgbc.org to engage.
