Barrier Analysis in Energy Retrofitting of Historic Buildings

The video provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of Deliverable D1.1, developed by ICOMOS as part of the FuturHist project, with a specific focus on the barrier analysis in the energy retrofitting of historic buildings. It presents the key findings, methodologies, and analytical approaches used to identify and assess the main obstacles that hinder the implementation of energy efficiency measures in heritage contexts.

The video highlights technical, regulatory, financial, and social barriers, and explains how these factors interact across different regional and stakeholder contexts. It also outlines the methodological framework applied in the study, offering insights into how these barriers can be better understood and addressed.

Overall, the video serves as an accessible introduction to the deliverable, helping professionals and stakeholders grasp the complexity of energy retrofitting in historic buildings while pointing towards strategies for more effective and heritage-sensitive interventions.

The video was created for the FuturHist Retrofit Academy and its participants.
