Scotland’s traditional buildings must be carefully assessed and appropriately retrofitted to mitigate the potential damage of climate change to their historic fabric and cultural significance.
Join us as we delve into aspects of climate change policy, explore theoretical and practical solutions that are making a difference, and discuss how we can protect Scotland's assets for the future.
A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed.
In the afternoon, we will explore the practical ways and means of retrofitting Scotland’s traditional buildings effectively and economically with a thorough discussion of the underlying principles governing the need for improved energy efficiency.
For those who cannot join us in person, a virtual ticket is available.
You will:
understand the emerging threats to Scotland’s historic built environment stemming from increased rainfall, increasing temperatures, and rising sea levels
learn about how HES (and Scotland as a whole) aims to combat the immediate effects of climate change at both policy and practical levels
identify the most immediate and damaging ways Scotland’s traditional buildings are affected by a changing climate and the best measures to be taken to address this challenge
understand the broader aspects of best practice in energy efficiency as it applies to retrofitting Scotland’s traditional buildings
recognise how retrofitting traditional buildings to meet current standards should be undertaken in a holistic manner to achieve maximum performance
learn how to compare retrofit materials, technologies and procedures to choose appropriate applications in different contexts
