This category recognised the excellent retrofit work that is underway across the UK. Because of the volume of entries and high-quality work on display we recognised efforts across three geographical locations. The first was for work undertaken across Central and East of England.

Our judges selected Lincolnshire Housing Partnership and E.ON as the winners, for their work on a Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund programme of work.

Commenting on their entry, our judges said:

The judges also commended the work of the Kensa Group and their retrofit of a 1960’s Tower Block in Thurrock.
