Energy Efficiency and Adaptive Re-use of Buildings

Event Description

Join us to explore the practical ways and means of retrofitting Scotland’s traditional buildings effectively and economically. This session is taking place at the Holyrood Park Education Centre in Edinburgh and will include a thorough discussion of the underlying principles governing the need for improved energy efficiency.

A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions.

Our full-day experience includes a tour of Holyrood Lodge, a small Victorian building recently retrofitted by Historic Environment Scotland (HES). You will be able to explore the lodge with a HES Senior Officer and discuss the range of best-practice energy efficiency techniques used in this building.

Please note, this full-day experience is now SOLD OUT. To secure a space on the morning learning session with the networking lunch, please use the eventbrite booking link below.
