FuturHist Barrier Survey
The aim of the project is to develop replicable retrofit solutions for historic buildings, focussing on building types rather than individual structures, in order to make them fit for the future by switching to clean energy. The aim of this survey is to identify the barriers to the energy retrofit of historic buildings (both listed and non-listed buildings with heritage value). You can access the survey at https://forms.gle/pJ7ELpXmeCtATmsi7. The survey is short and should take about 10 minutes to complete.
