The City Corporation has launched a Heritage Buildings Retrofit Toolkit, at an event at the Merchant Taylors’ Great Hall.

‘Retrofitting the City’ was co-organised by the City of London Corporation and Purcell (who supported the development of the toolkit) and included speakers from Historic England, as well as individuals involved in leading heritage retrofit schemes in the City, including the London Museum.

The toolkit seeks to empower owners of heritage buildings to initiate the adaptations necessary to reduce carbon emissions and build climate resilience, a key priority of the City Corporation’s Climate Action Strategy, as it progresses toward a net-zero Square Mile by 2040.
