David Pierpoint discusses how skills and training are key to improving quality in our built environment, drawing from his 15 years of experience developing the retrofit sector through The Retrofit Academy.
• Industry struggles with consistent quality in both retrofit and ventilation sectors
• Government funding often focuses on single measures rather than holistic retrofit
• Ventilation frequently missing from retrofit measures lists despite being essential
• Professional accountability distinguishes quality outcomes from poor practice
• Retrofit coordinators serve a critical role as advocates for homeowners and landlords
• Building inspection rates of only 2% are insufficient to ensure quality outcomes
• Training must evolve beyond certification to lifelong learning and ongoing support
• Technical knowledge needs to be accessible through technology and community platforms
• Diversity in the sector remains a challenge despite women excelling in key roles
• Future of training involves blending online learning with practical experience
The Retrofit Academy trains retrofitters to the highest standard possible and then provides them with a lifelong learning journey through community support, resources, and continuous development.
