Historic Building heating

Historic buildings are notoriously difficult to heat. This is an issue because most they’re not always occupied.

Historic buildings are notoriously difficult to heat. They are usually poorly insulated by modern day standards, and may have thick stone walls and floors, so they also may have a high thermal mass. This means they take a long time to heat up and a lot of heat energy is used in the process.

Traditional heating can be historic buildings, particularly where they are subjected to weekly heating cycles. It is only in the last 150 years that we have sought to heat historic buildings and often the signs of damage are evident. The thermal and humidity shocks caused by warming air, coupled with the release of moisture from people, produces condensation on cold walls, timbers and artworks. This presents a tremendous challenge for conservation. The damage is cumulative with long term implications. The black mould spots of the Stachybotrys fungus, dry rot and wet rot are all too familiar.
