In this opening session, our host Jenny Danson will welcome members, make introductions, and set the scene for how landlords can achieve productive cross-departmental working.10:45am – 11:30am Strategic Collaboration in Action: How Together Housing is Making Their Homes Sustainable, Affordable, and HealthyThe need for large-scale retrofit has highlighted the interconnected nature of housing, finance, and energy strategies. But successfully aligning different teams to deliver sustainable, healthy, and financially viable homes is easier said than done. A fireside chat with one organisation that is rising to the challenge .11:30am – 12:30pm Heat Zoning and Heat Regulations: The Financial Opportunity2026 marks a step change for heat networks, with Ofgem regulation coming into force and six new heat zones breaking ground. For social housing providers, this represents both a challenge and an opportunity. This session will begin with a presentation on the financial case for heat networks and the funding mechanisms available, followed by a panel discussion on how landlords can align their strategy with regulation to capture additional value.12:30pm - 1:10pm Lunch1:10pm – 1:55pm Why EV Charging Represents the Next Frontier of Profitable DecarbonisationInstalling EV charge points is now a requirement for all new buildings and those undergoing major renovations. For landlords, this presents a valuable opportunity: the chance to create a new revenue stream by selling affordable EV charging to residents and staff. This revenue can, in turn, be reinvested into capital-intensive retrofit projects. In this session, we will explore how asset and finance directors can structure EV charging projects alongside solar and storage installations to create resilient revenue streams and reduce exposure to volatile energy markets.1:55pm - 2:05pm Break2:05pm – 2:50pm CPI + 1%: What Rent Convergence Means for RetrofitFrom April, landlords are permitted to increase rent by CPI plus 1%, with this settlement agreed for the next 10 years. Such long-term certainty represents a powerful lever to attract private finance - one which several landlords are using to unlock deep retrofits and regeneration schemes. Our speakers will explore how rent convergence can be monetised to increase private finance for projects, de-risk initiatives, improve debt capacity, and maximise resident impact.2:50pm – 3:00pm Crafting Your Organisation’s Unified Housing, Energy, and Finance StrategyIn this closing session, we will explore how you can incorporate insights from today’s event into your strategy.Attendance is FREE as part of Healthy Homes Hub membership.Places are limited to 40#MakingHousingBetterTo learn more about becoming a Healthy Homes Hub member, contact: jenny@healthyhomeshub.uk - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/leeds/retrofit-society-20-january-quarterly-meet/100001810140361549 - **Event Categories**: business, contests, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Leeds - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: 2 Central Pl - **lat**: 53.7882064 - **long**: -1.529166 - **full address**: 2 Central Pl, 2 Central Place, Leeds, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Retrofit Society 2.0 - January Quarterly Meet - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/873ad410cee8adae8d34b3cfd66ffc44d2d9c0c87e2b845f952c6f01f00802a1-rimg-w1200-h600-dcdd4112-gmir.jpg?v=1761929048 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Retrofit Society 2.0 - January Quarterly Meet being held? - **A:** Retrofit Society 2.0 - January Quarterly Meet takes place on Tue, 13 Jan, 2026 at 10:30 am to Tue, 13 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm at 2 Central Pl, 2 Central Place, Leeds, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Retrofit Society 2.0 - January Quarterly Meet? - **A:** Retrofit Society 2.0 - January Quarterly Meet is organized by Healthy Homes Hub. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
