About

Historic England is seeking a supplier for research to inform guidance on the suitability of retrospectively fitting modern technologies into English buildings of traditional construction. Following the publication of an earlier literature review, this project will fill gaps in current knowledge by reviewing a selection of case studies of traditionally constructed buildings retrofitted with AVCLs (Air and Vapour Control Layers) and reporting on any positive or negative consequences of those installations.
