Refurbishment Case Study 20

This case study describes work undertaken by the Gannochy Trust on a traditional cottage from the interwar period. The measures installed were part of the suite of thermal interventions for traditional and historic buildings developed by Historic Scotland as part of the Energy Efficiency Research Programme that has been running since 2009 and whose main outcomes are summarised in Historic Scotland Short Guide 1. While most of the property was built in a traditional way, some aspects of the build were different, notably the use of cement in the external walls.
