Since 1995, Carrig Conservation has been at the forefront of building conservation in Ireland. Their multidisciplinary team applies science and experience to architectural conservation, new building, energy retrofitting and specialist research. The lecture will explore some of the research, guidelines, and policies Carrig Conservation has been involved in. It will introduce the idea of “Live Laboratories” to improve building performance following sympathetic energy retrofitting.
