RISE Masterclass: From Design to Net Zero - Retrofit Modelling with IES

IES is excited to be delivering a peer learning session with RISE, a free support service funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) providing training, guidance and support to help social housing providers, local authorities and their supply chains across England plan and deliver successful domestic retrofit programmes.

Join speakers from IES and Calderdale Council as they explore the role of Building Performance Modelling in retrofit planning and net-zero delivery with real case study examples, showing how the approach can empower teams to make informed decisions from the outset.

Discover how IES’s integrated approach can help to:

  • Benchmark and optimise performance early in the process
  • Evaluate operational energy, HVAC performance, and thermal comfort
  • Plan confidently for technical standards and in-use verification
  • Build confidence and clarity across design teams and stakeholders

Speakers:

  • Valeria Ferrando, Associate Director - Consulting, IES
  • Niall Gibson, Head of Sales - EMEA, IES
  • Sam Saxby, Climate & Environment Team Manager, Calderdale Council

This session is ideal for design teams, energy modellers, public sector retrofit leads, and sustainability professionals looking to integrate building performance modelling into their retrofit workflows and net-zero strategies.
