This guide is for film exhibitors in the UK wanting to start their retrofit journey, who have limited resources and capacity for large capital works.


With rising energy prices and an urgent need to reduce carbon emissions, retrofitting buildings offers a powerful way to act on climate while saving costs long term. This resource provides a checklist of low-lift, low cost actions and provides advice for starting a retrofit journey on a budget and with limited time.

This resource was produced by Zoe Rasbash and commissioned by Film Hub North, with National Lottery funding on behalf of the BFI Film Audience Network.
