How to disrupt traditional ways of thinking about ‘old buildings’ – curated by Heritage Declares
The built environment contributes around 40% of the UK’s total carbon footprint, and 21% of homes are over 100 years old and are characterised by traditional construction. There is an assumption that historic, traditional buildings will always have a low value Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and energy retrofits / upgrades are often dismissed on the
Go Big or Go Home: Tackling the hidden Barriers to Scaling Retrofit – curated by LSBU
Many of the well-known barriers in delivering retrofit get plenty of airtime, such the technical aspects, or the retrofit skills gap. But as social housing landlords struggle to deliver on pilots alongside ‘business as usual’, many lesser-recognised barriers are emerging. The need for soft skills such as how to communicate retrofit to residents and engage
Minimising and mitigating overheating risk in homes – curated by Good Homes Alliance
UK homes are increasingly at risk of overheating, which can lead to uncomfortable indoor environments for homeowners and residents. Overheating can be caused by poor housing design, uncontrolled solar gain, inadequate shading, and insufficient summer ventilation. Contextual factors such as external noise and security concerns can also restrict opportunities for natural ventilation. Hear from industry
