The Retrofit Workshop: Windows - Airtight Sealing of Replacement and Existing is designed for professionals involved in retrofit, construction, housing, and building maintenance who want to develop practical knowledge of improving airtightness around windows. Windows are a common source of air leakage within existing buildings, and poorly sealed installations can lead to draughts, heat loss, reduced energy efficiency, condensation issues, and increased energy costs. This hands-on workshop provides practical guidance on achieving effective airtight seals around both replacement and existing windows, supporting improved building performance and better occupant comfort.
Course units
The workshop covers the principles of airtightness, heat loss reduction, identifying air leakage around windows, sealing methods for replacement and existing windows, moisture management, condensation risks, appropriate materials and products, installation best practice, quality assurance, and retrofit considerations. Learners will gain practical insight into improving building performance through effective window sealing techniques that enhance comfort and energy efficiency.
What next?
Successful learners can progress to further retrofit, energy efficiency, and low-carbon technology training, including Retrofit Advisor, Domestic Energy Assessment, Domestic Ventilation Systems, Heat Pumps, and other sustainability-focused programmes. The workshop also supports those involved in PAS 2035 retrofit projects and domestic energy improvement schemes.
Entry criteria
There are no formal entry requirements for this workshop. It is suitable for retrofit professionals, builders, installers, tradespeople, housing professionals, maintenance personnel, and anyone involved in energy efficiency improvement works within domestic properties.
