Consultancy for Historic Buildings Carbon Reduction and Climate Resilience Challenge

About

City of London Corporation awarded a contract to Purcell Architecture Limited for consultancy on the Historic Buildings Carbon Reduction and Climate Resilience Challenge.

The project aimed to recognise best-in-class action in hard-to-treat historic buildings to incentivise climate readiness in the Square Mile.

It did not involve direct retrofit works but focused on capturing and sharing knowledge, data, and insights with stakeholders.

The programme identified barriers and opportunities for carbon reduction and climate resilience, highlighted best practices and innovations, promoted the business case for retrofitting historic buildings with cost-benefit analyses, addressed climate impacts such as extreme weather and sea level rise, engaged innovators across the development supply chain, and provided guidance based on real-world case studies.

The contract value was AUD 45,150, and the project duration was 6 months.
