Existing buildings are at the centre of the transition to a low-carbon, resilient built environment. As sustainability expectations, market demands and regulatory pressures continue to evolve, owners and project teams face increasingly complex decisions about how to enhance asset performance, future-proof buildings and unlock long-term value.

This practical, industry-led course explores how organisations are delivering successful building uplift programs across existing assets. Through real-world case studies and expert insights, participants will gain an understanding of the strategic, commercial and technical considerations involved in upgrading existing buildings.

From improving operational performance and occupant experience to reducing emissions and enhancing asset value, the course examines the opportunities and challenges of delivering meaningful uplift in the built environment. The program will also explore how retrofit and refurbishment strategies are being used to reshape existing buildings, extending asset life while improving sustainability, resilience and market performance.
