    Brief

    Historic England seeks a literature review and gap analysis to support its Technical Guidance Review on climate change mitigation and adaptation in historic buildings. The research will examine how hygrothermal and dynamic thermal properties of English traditional solid wall construction influence whole-building overheating risk and passive cooling performance, including effects of insulation retrofits and future climate scenarios. The study will analyze interactions between wall properties and other building factors such as orientation, solar gain, ventilation, occupancy, moisture conditions, and heating/cooling patterns. Deliverables include a peer-reviewed journal article, a Historic England Research Report, and a presentation for the Technical Tuesday webinar series. This work directly supports evidence-based climate resilience solutions that balance energy and carbon savings while maintaining building fabric integrity and occupant comfort.
