The newly issued ‘Planning Responsible Retrofit’ publication is available on the STBA website, offering information on traditional buildings and retrofitting.
The Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance (STBA) writes:
We are pleased to announce the publication of the first guide in a series of ‘how to carry out responsible retrofit’. This focuses on risk management and how to reduce risk through effective planning of retrofit projects.
The Planning Responsible Retrofit guide sets out some basic definitions of retrofit and of traditional buildings and then explains the main types of risk arising from retrofit – technical risks to building fabric and human health, heritage risks and risks in terms of energy and the environment. The guide then analyses the main causes of these risks and provides a robust process to manage these risks and links to a suite of information on best practice, technical guidance and training.
This first guide is available to download (see below) and has been sponsored by the CITB, Historic England and Historic Scotland.
