Lecture

How can historic buildings be made energy-efficient for the future without compromising their cultural value?

The presentation examines the energy-efficient refurbishment of historic buildings without compromising their cultural value. The European research project FuturHist presents bespoke refurbishment solutions. The ICOMOS ISCES Knowledge Hub is presented as a platform for knowledge exchange. A sensitive approach to the energy-efficient refurbishment of 19th-century tenement blocks in Central Europe, exemplified by the demonstration building in Kraków, combines traditional construction methods with innovative solutions such as bio-based insulation materials, the refurbishment of historic windows, heat recovery systems, smart control technology and photovoltaics.
