Old House Eco Handbook is a companion volume to the authors' highly successful Old House Handbook published in association with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). It seeks to answer the questions homeowners & others are asking about how to make old houses
- medieval & timberframed Georgian Victorian or Edwardian terraces
- energy-efficient & sustainable. The refurbishment or 'retrofitting' of old houses to meet new requirements into the future is now high on the Government's agenda.

Energy-efficiency in particular is vital to cut carbon emissions a major contributor to global warming. How should we go about this without devaluing future sustainability or the appeal & character of old homes by the use of inappropriate solutions? Old House Eco Handbook sets out to provide the answers. The SPAB at the forefront of research into old house energy-efficiency is the ideal partner for this book.
