Sessions include:
Peter Drummond, Architect will start with visiting the newly updated ‘Projected wind driven rain in the UK’ (November 2024) and how this will affect specifying slaterwork, flashings, rain water goods and the ‘like’.
Drew Carr, Senior Architect with John Gilbert Architects will talk us through his award winning retrofit project at Niddrie Road, Glasgow – bringing together energy saving strategies and a ‘future proofed’ tenement.
Moses Jenkins, Historic Environment Scotland , co -author with Roger Curtis for the ‘Guide to Energy Retrofit of Traditional Buildings’ will discuss practical case studies of a myriad of techniques and materials for the upgrading of historic buildings.
