\"\"The IHBC supported the recent and highly successful launch of the Climate Heritage Network (CHN) at Edinburgh Castle, hosted by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and led by ICOMOS, included a presentation by author and IHBC Technical Panel lead John Edwards on the updated IHBC Toolbox<\/a> Guidance Note<\/em> on \u2018Retrofitting of Traditional Buildings<\/em><\/a>\u2019, <\/strong>a \u2018major contribution\u2019 to the debate.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018The IHBC is delighted to have been\u00a0 able to help in the launch of this \u2018mission critical\u2019 initiative for heritage and humanity, albeit in our own small way.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As well supporting and hosting an IHBC stand on the day \u2013 led by our Professional Support Officer Michael Netter \u2013 we were able to support John Edwards\u2019 evening presentation on his updated Toolbox<\/a> Guidance Note<\/em> on Retrofitting of Traditional Buildings<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>document considered by many to be a major contribution to the debate.\u2019<\/p>\n

Technical panel lead John Edwards said: \u2018We understand that climate change is the biggest issue ever.\u00a0 Though it will take more than making buildings more energy efficient to address it, our contribution to this launch was to illustrate the IHBC\u2019s holistic approach to energy efficient building retrofit.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018This is a conscious response to some of the more blinkered approaches to the retrofitting of buildings, remembering that we all have a responsibility to promote good practice, and should take every opportunity to do so.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Later this month I will be in Austria delivering a workshop to representatives of many parts of Europe, and it will be focused on the IHBC guidance on retrofitting traditional buildings.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope it helps make a difference; it has to!\u2019<\/p>\n

Michael Netter said: \u2018It was a real pleasure for IHBC to exhibit at the CHN Global Launch in Edinburgh, helping contribute to the mobilisation of the heritage sector in the response to climate\u00a0 change.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018As IHBC members know, it is important that all responses are appropriate and sympathetic, and contributing both to the initial launch as well as follow-up actions will enable the IHBC to lead in the formation and promulgation of these responses.\u2019<\/p>\n

A key outcome of the program will be the launch of the new Climate Heritage Network, a voluntary, mutual support network of local and city, state\/provincial and regional, indigenous and tribal, and national arts, culture and heritage governmental and quasi-governmental boards, offices, ministries and site management agencies as well as NGOs, universities, businesses and other organizations committed to aiding their jurisdictions in tackling climate change and achieving the ambitions of the Paris Agreement.\u00a0 Interested parties may join the CHN by signing or endorsing the Climate Heritage Network Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
