Camberwell Retrofit Pub Party Series 3: Conservation Areas
Learn how to protect the heritage qualities of your conservation area home, whilst making it fit for the future with a retrofit project.
Many of us who live in conservation areas consider ourselves lucky enough to have beautiful, historic homes, which hold within them many memories, not only of our own but of generations before us.
Nevertheless, much as we love our homes, we're very familiar with the feeling of cold in the winter, the sometimes sweltering heat of those south-facing rooms in the summer, and generally, very expensive energy bills arriving through our letterboxes each month.
Now though, we also have to go beyond thinking about our own comfort and consider our home's impact on the environment. 40% of UK emissions come from households, and buildings in conservation areas are often the oldest and hardest to decarbonise.
Having said that, it's not an impossible mission, and there is a growing community of homeowners undertaking "deep retrofit" projects which look to protect the beauty of older buildings whilst upgrading the energy efficiency of the home through insulation, ventilation, renewable energy, and smart technologies.
Join Selce in conversation with architect James Foster, co-founder of Foster Perpiditou to discuss the ins and the outs of sensitively navigating energy efficiency measures through local regulations.
