>>>actions the Welsh Government should take to progress a programme of retrofit for these sectors in the short, medium and long term;

>>>the key challenges of delivering a programme of retrofit within these sectors, including financial, practical and behavioural, and action required from the Welsh Government (and its partners) to overcome them;
