Google+ Hangout – The Balance Between Heritage and Sustainable Design
At the start of the year we mentioned that we wanted to host some Google+ Hangouts to debate issues that are not so clear cut.
We are pleased to announce that our first forum will be on Monday 18th February 2013 at 8.30pm.
A panel of experts and home owners will get in front of their webcams for the debate and the programme will be transmitted live on YouTube. A pre-recorded version will also be available to review after the event.
Our subject for this first session is:
The Balance Between Heritage and Sustainable Design
What's more important – preserving heritage architecture or retrofitting it to high energy efficiency? There has to be a balance between the past and the future, particularly if we accept that we have to reduce our fossil fuel dependency. Where is that line?
Our panel consists:
Writer and blogger Roger Hunt (who appeared in our 10th podcast)
Writer and Passivhaus consultant Adam Dadeby from Passivhaus Homes (who appeared in our 5th podcast)
Homeowner Ross Atkin (who has recently retrofitted his Victorian house)
Ben Adam-Smith will be leading the discussion and it is scheduled to be 30 minutes long.
The programme will be available on our YouTube Channel.
