Through discussions with industry partners, it is evident there is a huge pressure on the construction industry to reduce the environmental impact of existing buildings.
Councils, housing associations, builders, and construction companies are under pressure to increase the efficiency of buildings by 2050. Councils and housing associations are obliged to improve the energy ratings of their houses to a minimum of C by 2030. This has created a skills gap in the construction industry market - Solent's MSc Sustainable Refurbishment is aimed at helping to reduce this gap by providing graduates with the skills and knowledge desired by the industry to become sustainable refurbishment professionals.
