Welcome to our seminar series exploring the future of energy in historic houses. Hosted by Moulding, in collaboration with industry-leading partners, these events bring together property owners, architects, conservationists, and energy experts to share insights and strategies for navigating energy transitions in listed and heritage buildings.
Why energy transition matters for historic properties
The shift to sustainable energy is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and historic properties are no exception. Balancing heritage preservation with modern energy demands requires innovative thinking, technical expertise, and a commitment to long-term solutions. Through this seminar series, we aim to provide practical advice, inspiration, and a roadmap for others embarking on this journey.
The series so far..
1. Stockton House: exploring GSHP and other technologies
The inaugural seminar, hosted at Stockton House by Nick Jenkins, showcased his experience retrofitting the property with ground-source heating. Discussions highlighted the economic and environmental benefits of renewable systems and provided a practical look at implementing these solutions in historic settings.
2. Athelhampton House: a model for deep retrofit
The second seminar at Athelhampton House explored the transformative power of deep retrofitting. Featuring award-winning case studies, a panel of experts, and a tour of the house’s innovative energy systems, the event offered a replicable blueprint for integrating modern energy technologies into heritage properties.
Looking ahead
The overwhelming success of these events has inspired us to continue the conversation. Plans are already underway for our next seminar, where we’ll delve even deeper into the challenges and opportunities of energy transitions in historic houses.
Whether you’re a property owner seeking guidance, an architect or conservationist looking to stay ahead of the curve, or simply passionate about the future of sustainable heritage, we invite you to explore these seminars and join us in shaping a greener future for historic buildings.
