Buildings constructed before 1919 differ significantly from modern constructions, requiring specialised retrofitting approaches. These historic structures not only enrich our cultural heritage and sense of place but also offer a unique opportunity for climate action through sustainable upgrades.

This publication targets learners enrolled in the Level 3 Award in Energy Efficiency Measures for Older and Traditional Buildings and other retrofit qualifications. It serves as a supplementary resource to registered provider training, underscoring the idea that traditional buildings can be effectively retrofitted to contribute to climate change mitigation.
