Late 19th and early 20th century masonry buildings — from historic warehouses to Victorian homes and main-street shops — make up a large part of our urban cores, providing significant cultural, heritage and embodied energy resources to their communities. They speak to our history and their robust assembly and appealing character make them adaptable to new uses. However, these structures are also typically energy inefficient, putting them seemingly at odds with climate action goals that characterize 21st century practice. So how do you meet the challenges of a net-carbon and energy neutral future while maintaining these important built assets from our past?

Join us for this 1 hour webinar as architect Eric Charron and Building Scientist Dr. Randy Van Straaten share with us first principles for energy retrofitting heritage masonry, including best practice dos and don’ts and pitfalls to avoid.
