Assessing Thermal Performance in Heritage Buildings: Challenges & Solutions
Explore how to evaluate and improve thermal efficiency in heritage assets, without disrupting residents or affecting the building fabric.
Welcome to Assessing Thermal Performance in Heritage Buildings: Challenges & Solutions.
Join us on October 23rd, 2025 at 12:00 PM to dive into the past with modern techniques and tools.
Heritage and historic buildings are a vital part of our cultural identity – but they’re also some of the hardest to keep warm, efficient, and comfortable. Rising energy costs and sustainability targets mean that even traditional and listed properties are under pressure to perform better.
In this webinar, Build Test Solutions will show how practical assessment and smart, evidence-based upgrades can improve the comfort and efficiency of heritage buildings without compromising their character.
We’ll explore:
- Why older buildings often lose - or hold onto - more heat than expected
- Simple ways to understand where energy is being wasted
- How to balance conservation with modern comfort and efficiency
- Real examples of upgrades that reduced energy bills and improved wellbeing
Whether you’re a building owner, manager, or simply passionate about preserving heritage for the future, this session will give you clear, practical insights into how historic buildings can be understood, without the need for instrusive testing onto the building fabric itself.
By the end of the session, you’ll see how it’s possible to maintain the beauty and integrity of heritage properties while making them healthier, more sustainable, and more cost-effective to run.

Attendees will gain a comprehensive grasp on the unique challenges facing the preservation and retrofitting of heritage properties, and also learn techniques that not only give accurate, data-led insight into the fabric of the building, but can also guide the most effective measures to improve building efficiency and occupant comfort.
