Join the HES team to learn about the practicalities of detailed and regular inspections of traditional buildings. They’ll share how a robust maintenance plan can stave off decay and expensive repairs. A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed.

Industrial heritage sites across the UK are increasingly being utilised to support the generation and usage of renewable energy. However, bringing renewable energy into heritage environments can raise complex questions: how can we protect and preserve historic places while adapting them for a changing climate? How can the renewable energy sector work together with heritage, rather than compete or restrict one another? And how can these projects contribute to the long-term resilience and regeneration of local communities? This event will explore these questions through practical case studies of heritage and renewable energy working together to support net zero goals, heritage-led regeneration, and preservation of industrial heritage sites.
