S1. Ep 2. In conversation with John Edwards a historic building expert at Edward Hart
Description
In this episode I am joined by Professor John Edwards who is an authority on working with older properties with a wealth of experience including working with Cadw (the Welsh Government body responsible for safeguarding the historic built environment) as the Assistant Director as well as working with Historic England and the Chartered Institute of Building where he delivers courses which is where we met on the Understanding Building Conservation course which he wrote and delivered. In his own practice, Edwards Hart he offers a wealth of services ranging from building services, energy efficiency and advice, support with planning applications along with a training academy which is Environment Study Centre and the list goes on.
John tells us how he got into the industry and where his
extensive knowledge of working with the built environment came from and the power of education.
We talk about where issues with buildings can come from,
retrofitting, climate change, moisture in a building, common themes and misconceptions relating to sustaining a building so some hefty topics.
It will be an interesting listen for anyone who owns an
older property and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
