IHBC members can get £25 off the full ticket price for the joint conference on ‘Responsible Retrofit for Traditional Buildings’, organised by Fit for the Future Network and the Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance (STBA), which will take place on Wednesday, 3 June 2015 in Bristol’s Harbourside.
The organisers write:
Pre 1919 buildings make up one in five homes in the UK and represent nearly a third of the buildings in the private rental sector. Retrofit is an important part of lowering emissions and delivering energy savings but using modern materials and approaches on traditional buildings can actually decrease energy efficiency and cause severe damage over time. A one-size-fits-all approach could be counterproductive and lead to costly mistakes.
This national conference is aimed at professionals from Local Authorities, Housing Associations and private landlords who are planning or delivering retrofit programmes.
Asset, Programme and Risk Managers, Conservation and Sustainability Officers, Planners, Contractors, Designers and supply chain should attend.
Collaborating with the UKs most experienced organisations and individuals, the event will:
- Identify risks and unintended consequences associated with the retrofit of traditional buildings and share best ways of managing them
- Equip delegates with the knowledge, practical resources and skills required to successfully and effectively carry out work on their traditional housing stock.
- Share practical, affordable and achievable case studies
- Develop expertise and establish a practical support network.
The morning will include discussion and presentations with an afternoon of practical workshops and hands on training.
The organisers advise: In order to receive the £25 discount off the full rate of £150 IHBC members must insert the code R3Tr0F1T when ordering their ‘General entry’ tickets (NB: not ‘Member’ tickets).
