In this talk Hannah Reynolds of Historic England will look how a whole-building approach can inform energy efficiency and climate resilience strategies for traditional buildings, balancing environmental performance with the conservation of historic fabric and significance using the latest research.

Rosanne Walker of Fabtrads explores how older buildings can be upgraded without causing unintended damage, explaining the building physics behind vernacular retrofit and why a whole-building approach is key to effective, compatible and resilient retrofit.

In this talk Jonathan Buckley of Shaffrey Architects will talk about the conservation of Dromdiah House and the careful approach taken to repair, revive, and secure the future of an important historic building.
