Carrig has extensive experience in conducting comprehensive research on built and archaeological heritage. We cooperate with international organisations, governmental departments and local authorities to carry out research on critical heritage related matters, aiming at setting up achievable goals and giving practical recommendations to preserve our non-renewable heritage assets for the enjoyment of current and future generations.

Historic England commissioned Carrig Conservation to work on the project entitled “Understanding Carbon in the Historic Environment” in 2019.
This project looked at embodied carbon in existing and new buildings and generate a comparative life cycle analysis that estimates carbon emissions avoided when they are renovated for improved energy efficiency rather than demolished and rebuilt. We also compared the cost of renovation to the cost of new build relative to carbon savings and made recommendations on where policy and practice needs to change in order to ensure that the carbon footprint of buildings are reduced. The final report came out on February 26th and is available here. Carrig is currently working on an extension of this project, adding three extra case studies to the report. This will be published in the next month. |
