Built to Last - Exploring a Deep and Circular Retrofit Case Study

Dublin City Council presents a half-day seminar to showcase the deep energy renovation of No.4 Findlater Street and a new free online resource called Built to Last Energy Efficiency Renovation in Traditional Dublin Homes, soon to be available on dublincity.ie. The seminar will have a particular focus on the renovation of No.4 Findlater Street, which was designed by architect and academic Joseph Little. The project has a notable focus on breathability, energy efficiency, material circularity, and Life Cycle Assessment. Suppliers of materials used in the energy renovation of No.4 Findlater Street will exhibit materials used in the project and will be on hand to answer your questions.

Built to Last examines a range of Dublin houses that have received energy-efficiency renovations and also examines the efficacy of potential works in a number of other houses, including No.4 Findlater Street. Built to Last was commissioned by Dublin City Council with grant support from the Heritage Council, with additional support from the Government Policy on Architecture Implementation Programme 2009 - 2015. The lead author and editor of Built to Last is Joseph Little who led a multi-disciplinary team including Fergal McGirl Architects and IHER Services Ltd. Additional editorial support was provided by ORS Ltd.
