The Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance explores the topic of overheating in traditional buildings including causes and mitigation measures, with an example of how to put these principles to work in practice through a case study from Blenheim Palace.
Often retrofit strategies do not consider overheating, and some well-intentioned retrofit measures even make it worse. Understanding the risks, as well as potential mitigation strategies, is essential in order to successfully manage it and avoid unintended consequences.
