With rising energy bills and the wish to cut carbon emissions high on many people’s personal agenda, the need for sustainable, energy efficient buildings is increasingly urgent.
The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings presents a NEW one day course
on how to make your house – whether it is medieval and timber-framed,
Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian – energy efficient and low carbon
without devaluing the future sustainability or character of the
building. Led by Marianne Suhr and Roger Hunt, authors of the new Old House Eco Handbook (published in association with the SPAB), the course will present case studies and lectures based on the themes of the book.
In the rush to be ‘eco’, compatibility between traditional buildings
and modern technologies and materials can be mistakenly ignored. The
course will explain how to avoid potential problems and will consider an holistic approach to retrofitting, while presenting a background to the latest building science with practical advice and examples of best practice.
The course will be relevant primarily for owners of period properties
(pre-1919), but also for professionals who may need to brief their clients
(homeowners) on improving the energy efficiency of their buildings.
There will also be an opportunity to present your questions to a Panel
of building conservation experts, and to speak to a SPAB Technical
Adviser. Delegates will also receive a signed copy of the newly
published Old House Eco Handbook (RRP £30).
