Building Energy Retrofits and Efficiency Upgrade Management

The existing building stock across African cities consumes far more energy than it needs, and retrofitting offers quick, low risk savings. This programme focuses on identifying, prioritising and delivering efficiency upgrades in occupied commercial and public buildings. Delegates learn to run walk through audits, select measures with strong paybacks and manage upgrade projects with minimal disruption to occupants.
