Since buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of carbon dioxide
emissions each year, considerable focus has been placed on the construction of
new green buildings. Discussion about the importance of improving and re-using
our existing building stock – and especially our historic buildings – is largely absent from the conversations about climate change.
