How can historic buildings contribute to the energy transition without compromising their heritage value? Join us to explore this question in our upcoming webinar series developed in collaboration with FuturHist:
From Heritage to Energy Transition: Passive and Active Solutions for Historic Buildings
INTBAU supports research and practice that enable traditional building cultures to thrive in today’s built environment. Through this shared commitment, FuturHist brings knowledge and tested solutions to INTBAU’s global network advancing traditional building, architecture and urbanism.
Passive Retrofit Strategies for Heritage Buildings
17 March 2026, 11:00–12:30 CET
This session will explore examples of passive solutions in historic buildings, with a focus on insulation systems and window interventions. Speakers Marianna Muchorowska (University of Innsbruck) and Alexandra Troi (Eurac Research) will share insights from the FuturHist deliverable Conservation-compatible passive retrofit solutions.
How Active Systems Can Support Heritage Buildings
24 March 2026, 11:00–12:30 CET
This webinar will examine active solutions for historic buildings. Federico Trentin (Eurac Research) and Marianna Muchorowska (University of Innsbruck) will present key findings from the deliverable Conservation-compatible solutions for HVAC and RES integration in historic buildings.
Both sessions will be moderated by Tomasz Jeleński (The Sendzimir Foundation / INTBAU Trustee).
Further details and the full agenda will be announced soon.
About FuturHist
FuturHist researches and tests energy-efficient retrofit interventions tailored to historic building typologies.
The project implements these solutions in real-life demonstration cases in Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
It focuses on innovative approaches including bio-based materials, internal insulation systems, window retrofits, HVAC, and RES integration.
FuturHist is a research project Co-funded by the European Union and the UK Research and Innovation.
