Eco-Refurbishing / Retrofitting Scottish Housing

• Refurbing/retrofitting an old house for energy efficiency and comfort is a simple idea.  In practice, the construction issues are often complicated and difficult to execute. Further, combining the execution with what constitutes a 'successful' refurbishment provides confusion that needs careful and informed resolution before a job starts. This website provides practical and technical knowledge enough for the average building professional approaching refurbishment for the first time or the homeowner considering the investment in time and knowledge needed to achieve a satisfying outcome.
   
• Importantly, the site provides information taken from a Scottish perspective. Most traditional Scottish buildings differ in their materials and means of construction from those of other areas of the UK. However, many principles remain applicable to buildings outside of the Scottish vernacular.
