This special CPD event will run across two sessions, during which participants will be able to update their knowledge and understanding of energy efficiency for traditional buildings.

The event will include contributions from Nicholas Heath (Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance), Dr Paul Baker (Building Physics Consultant), Harry Paticas (Architect) and Sarah Kahn (Roger Mears Architects). It will be chaired by Morwenna Slade, Historic England’s Head of Historic Building Climate Change Adaptation. The event will introduce the energy efficiency policy context for England, and offer case studies on assessment and managing significance. Participants will learn about the findings from Historic England funded research on hygrothermal monitoring and modelling, as well as understanding how history can be used to improve energy efficiency.

Originally planned to take place at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, this CPD event is free of charge, thanks to support from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation and National Lottery Heritage Fund. Participants should register for both sessions.
