Climate change and your home
If your reaction to climate change has so far been a bit ostrich-like, maybe a new website from English Heritage will help you get your head right out of that sand.
Specifically aimed at owners of traditional and period properties, website www.climatechangeandyourhome.org.uk looks at what environmental change could mean for your property. While acknowledging that traditional properties are resilient and adaptable, it also shows how to make sensible changes to weather the storms ahead – from flooding to high temperatures and high winds – along with ways to make your home more energy efficient.
Handily, you can customise the site to suit the specific concerns of your type and period of property, so the advice is tailor-made for you. If you’re anything like us, this site could be the wake-up call you need to start seriously considering making a few changes.
