Heritage buildings stand as a crucial aspect of our cultural identity, necessitating preservation efforts to ensure their accessibility, affordability, and habitability. While exterior insulation with hygroscopic materials is preferable, it may be limited by alignment or protection concerns. Interior insulation can lead to humidity-related issues. Moreover, many heritage buildings lack a cost-effective heating/cooling system. 

The EU-funded Herit4ages project will demonstrate that heritage buildings can be enhanced in terms of performance without compromising their cultural and architectural identity. 

Start date: November 2023 - End date: November 2027
