Q&A with the experts
Older buildings can be harder to keep warm, and it’s not always clear what improvements will work best or what changes are allowed.
This live, public webinar is designed to make things clearer.
🏠 Keeping the heat in: Thermal efficiency in older buildings
🗓️ Tuesday, 17th February 2026
🕡 6.30pm – 7.30pm
💻 Online (Zoom)
The session will open with a short overview to outline practical retrofit strategies for older buildings. Daniel Ayre, Historic Environment Team Leader at Winchester City Council, will then explore how traditional buildings were constructed, and what that means for upgrades, retrofitting and planning considerations today.
The heart of the webinar will be an open, interactive Q&A with Stuart Mills, lead retrofit adviser at WinACC for our My Home Made Better service. You’re welcome to bring your own questions – whether about insulation, materials or next steps – and get clear, impartial advice relevant to real homes.
If you own an older home and are thinking about how to make it warmer and more energy efficient, this session is for you. It’s a chance to ask questions, hear from specialists, and come away with a clearer understanding of what’s possible for your property.
