This award recognises specialised knowledge in **improving energy efficiency in older, heritage, and traditionally constructed buildings.** During the course, learners explored the unique characteristics of pre-1919 and traditionally built properties, including solid wall construction, moisture movement, ventilation and heritage considerations. The training involved theoretical study and applied assignments focused on identifying appropriate energy efficiency measures that do not compromise building integrity. Learners assessed case studies and developed strategies that balance energy performance with conservation principles. Achieving this award demonstrates that the individual understands how to **approach retrofit and energy efficiency improvements in older buildings responsibly.** They are equipped to advise on suitable interventions, helping to protect building fabric while enhancing energy performance, comfort, and sustainability.
