The IHBC’s new Climate Change Hub resource is designed to serve as a knowledge base for the Institute’s wide array of publications, policy positions, events, research and guidance on climate change, energy efficiency, retrofit, and more.
… designed to develop over time in response to emerging needs and outputs….into a premier resource…
Michael Netter, IHBC’s Professional Services Officer, said: ‘This new resource and service offers a one-stop-shop for all things related to the IHBC’s engagement with climate action within heritage conservation and the historic built environment. It includes not only IHBC services, but references relevant third party links as well, such as pertinent resources from HE, HES, Cadw, SPAB, STBA, and more.’
‘The site is planned and designed to develop over time in response to emerging needs and outputs, while we hope it develops into a premier resource for anyone looking for advice and information on these issues. Future ambitions include incorporating case studies of both the good and bad when it comes to retrofitting heritage buildings for energy efficiency.’
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘The IHBC is committed to raising awareness and understanding of how conservation philosophy and practice contributes towards meeting the challenge of climate change, while reducing threats and damage from poor practice.’
‘Our next Annual School, in June and in Reading – online and in person – will look at many critical variables, from building development, care and handover to how skilled people can make the systems of finance and regulation work much better.’
… help us keep the Hub current by suggesting practice examples and case studies…
‘To start the Hub, we’ve naturally focussed on gathering work we’ve already done. But please do help us keep the Hub current by suggesting practice examples and case studies.’
