A guide to improving the energy efficiency of traditional homes in the city of Bath was launched today. A collaboration between the Bath Preservation Trust and the Centre for Sustainable Energy, this practical guide shows how we can preserve the character of historic Bath houses and make the city and its buildings fit for a low carbon future. The guide is designed for all owners and occupants of traditional homes in Bath, mainly homes of solid wall construction typically built before 1919. It includes sections on energy efficient techniques suitable for traditional houses as well as advice on planning policy and practice. For more background information, and to download a copy of the guide, see either www.cse.org.uk or www.bath-preservation-trust.org.uk.
