03rd November, 2026
Engine Shed, Stirling

Understand the emerging threats to Scotland’s historic built environment stemming from increased rainfall, increasing temperatures, and rising sea levels. Learn about how HES (and Scotland as a whole) aims to combat the immediate effects of climate change at both policy and practical levels. Identify the most immediate and damaging ways Scotland’s traditional buildings are affected by a changing climate and the best measures to be taken to address this challenge. Understand the broader aspects of best practice in energy efficiency as it applies to retrofitting Scotland’s traditional buildings. Recognise how retrofitting traditional buildings to meet current standards should be undertaken in a holistic manner to achieve maximum performance. Learn how to compare retrofit materials, technologies and procedures to choose appropriate applications in different contexts.
