It also clears up common confusion around terms like \u2018breathable\u2019, offering clear guidance for retrofit teams. On Tuesday 16 September, join us for a Technical Tuesday webinar presenting new UCL-led research into insulation and moisture, supported by all four UK heritage agencies. We also highlight an upcoming CPD webinar introducing the new Heritage Retrofit Methodology \u2013 developed to support more consistent, principle-based decisions across retrofit projects in traditional buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we turn to Denmark, where policy is leading the charge on embodied carbon. The Reduction Roadmap, shared recently via the ASBP, offers sharp lessons for UK policy as Part Z gathers momentum. For anyone committed to aligning building practice with environmental imperatives, these are essential references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/stbauk\/stba-summer-2025-newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this Newsletter update, Sustainable Buildings Traditional Alliance(STBA) share timely insights on retrofit strategy, material performance, and carbon regulation &#8211; key foundations for responsible building practice.
