Enhanced Retrofit Fabric Improvement Training (ERFIT)
Wales has around 1.4 million residential and up to 100,000 non-residential buildings which need to be retrofitted between now and 2050 to reduce their emissions over the next 26 years. However, how do we achieve this and how do we ensure we do it well? One answer is, via the ERFIT training programme.
CWIC is pleased to introduce the new Passivhaus Trust approved Enhanced Retrofit Fabric Improvement Training (ERFIT) programme.
Our partnership with the Passivhaus Trust is enabling us to deliver the course in Wales for the first time and will take a fabric first approach to retrofit.
