Energy Efficiency in Traditional Buildings - Principles and General Approaches

In this virtual talk, Roger Curtis from Historic Environment Scotland (HES) will discuss the key things to consider when retrofitting traditional buildings to improve energy efficiency whilst referencing local HES projects. Topics will include: traditional building construction, technical performance, water vapour movement, ventilation, embodied carbon, planning matters, and published guidance.

To be continued with Energy Efficiency in Traditional Buildings Part 2 – Measures and Implementation on Tuesday, April 12 at 6 PM.

The Scottish Historic Buildings Trust is delighted to deliver this free event as part of the Jedburgh CARS Education and Training Programme.

Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (SHBT) is a dynamic and innovative charity dedicated to regenerating significant historic buildings for the benefit of others.

The Trust collaborates with local communities and others to preserve significant properties at risk in Scotland. We have already restored over 30 buildings and raised over £25 million with a small team and no public funding.

You can help in many ways, from providing a donation, giving of your time as a volunteer, becoming a friend and actively telling people about the work of the charity and the opportunities to explore and use these wonderful buildings.
