Historic buildings, by definition, are buildings that have been around for a long time and likely to continue in use. Many were built 50 or more years ago and some retain their original mechanical systems. These systems were designed in an era when energy was abundant and thermal performance of the building fabric and energy use hardly considered. Making these buildings sustainable and reducing their energy use is often constrained by restrictions on change to the external and sometimes internal appearance. This seminar includes four speakers with experience in transforming historic buildings to improve their sustainability.
