Natalie Bain-Reguis' Recognition (15)

Workshop with High school students for the "Future Institute at Dollar Academy (FIDA) Sustainable Building Challenge"
2023 - 2023

Description Speaker and panel member during the "Future Institute at Dollar Academy (FIDA) Sustainable Building Challenge". The project involved 32 students from Alva and Lornshill Academy (Clackmannanshire), Wallace High School (Stirling), and Dollar Academy. The students had one week to work on the retrofit of a typical 1860 Scottish cottage. They looked at layout, energy efficiency solutions, low-carbon energy supply, comfort of occupant, indoor air quality, and impact on biodiversity. They produced impressive presentations. We presented the ongoing research at Napier University and provided guidance on building performance and retrofit options, as well as an insight in the future of heating in Scotland.
