REFIT_2050: Futureproofing the public sector estate

Refit_2050 brings together the Sewell Group’s diverse estates expertise to help our clients transition to a net zero future.

The journey to Net Zero is complicated. Building owners & operators must contend with ethical pressures, rising energy costs and constantly shifting policies. All whilst continuing to operate ‘business as usual’ and ensuring their estate is in line with statutory compliance.

Refit_2050 helps building and portfolio operators identify ‘what to do’ and ‘in what order’ helping to simplify the transition to Net Zero whilst also taking stock of basic short term needs and ongoing pressures of building operation.

The Net Zero challenge and how we can help

Our Refit_2050 guru, Steve Dam poses the question: How can the education sector plan for net zero in the long term whilst meeting current basic need and compliance requirements?

Case study: Retrofitting a historic building

The challenge of making historic buildings fit for 21st century teaching whilst considering all current energy, compliance and economic constraints was brought to the forefront on the redevelopment of the former Central Fire Station.
