Retro Net Zero

The Innovation Adoption Pathways page by RetroNetZero explores how innovative low-carbon and retrofit solutions can be effectively integrated into the UK’s existing building stock. It focuses on overcoming the barriers that slow the uptake of net-zero technologies and sustainable construction practices, particularly within the housing and retrofit sectors.

The page outlines strategic pathways for scaling innovation — from early-stage research to mainstream market adoption — emphasizing collaboration between government, industry, and academia. It also highlights case studies, frameworks, and policy insights designed to accelerate retrofit innovation, workforce readiness, and sustainable supply chains.

Overall, the page serves as a guide for achieving large-scale decarbonisation of buildings, promoting systemic change toward a net-zero built environment through evidence-based innovation and policy alignment.
