Roger Curtis from History Environment Scotland discusses how to better understand and undertake the thermal refurbishment of traditional buildings in Scotland.
Lecturer: Roger Curtis, Historic Environment Scotland
Roger will outline the approach Historic Environment Scotland has taken to better understanding and considering the thermal refurbishment of traditional and historic buildings. Over the past decade, Historic Environment Scotland has undertaken a range of trials and experiments in relation to traditionally constructed buildings. Test results and how such work can be specified will be considered following guidance published in the organisation’s Short Guide on the subject. Climate change adaptation will be reviewed and highlighted.

He joined Historic Environment Scotland in 2006 and is responsible for managing the Technical Research Unit.
