The IHBC is delighted to announce that the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) is to offer copies of their briefings on ‘Lime’ and ‘Energy efficiency in old buildings’ to delegates at the IHBC’s Norwich School (subject to availability), creating yet another huge incentive for members and colleagues to make time for CPD and networking on 19 June, while if you can’t get there, you can always download copies from the SPAB’s website.
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘This is a very generous gesture by the SPAB towards our 2015 School delegates, while offering such easy online access to these authoritative texts through the SPAB’s own website is an important public and charitable gesture that we are delighted to applaud.’

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) is making their ‘Energy Efficiency in Old Buildings’ and ‘Lime’ Briefings available to IHBC School delegates, while digital copies are also available to download from the SPAB’s website.
The Briefings series is a summary of the Society’s recent work; each edition aims to offer cutting-edge information to help both homeowners and building professionals.
Old buildings are sustainable but they can benefit from sensitive and well-informed energy efficiency measures. The ‘Energy Efficiency in Old Buildings’ SPAB Briefing explores the methods, materials and debates that will ensure your old building continues to be sustainable.
An understanding of lime is fundamental to the repair and long-term protection of our historic buildings. The SPAB, in association with the Building Limes Forum, has produced a ‘Lime’ Briefing that explores the exciting role lime has to play in the future of our built environment.
Both briefings are edited by award winning writer and blogger, Roger Hunt. Contributors include some of the some of the leading practitioners in their fields. The SPAB Briefing series is available to download here: http://www.spab.org.uk/briefing/
