The Heritage and Retrofit Group is CIBSE's oldest Special Interest Group. It was established in 1973 with the main purpose of discovering and recording all aspects of building engineering services history.
The Group has evolved to disseminate knowledge on the retrofit and building services interventions in heritage buildings to its members.
The Heritage Group and its subcommittee Retrofit in Heritage merged in 2025 to become the Heritage and Retrofit Group.
