Overview

Agenda (to be finalised)

- Arrival, networking over breakfast

- Welcome from the Chair

- Sustaining Heritage: Smarter Maintenance, Greener Retrofits, Stronger Conservation – Becky Valentine, Co-owner, Sustainability & Building Health Consultant, Spenbeck

There is a need to look after historic buildings in ways that protect their character and reduce their environmental impact. Far from being barriers, heritage buildings can become leaders in sustainability when cared for intelligently and yet they are frequently referred to ‘difficult”, “challenging” and excluded from the decarbonisation conversation altogether. This session explores how sustainable practices in maintenance, retrofitting and conservation can protect historic character and cut carbon.
