In conversation with Marianne Suhr

<p>We talk to Marianne Suhr, conservation building surveyor and co-author of the 'Old House Eco Handbook' to get some advice about sensitive interventions for contemporary living in traditional buildings that still retain the character of your old building. We get into dew points, insulating plasters, underfloor heating, secondary glazing, appropriate insulation and some of the ‘quick wins’ that can be carried out on traditional buildings.  </p><p>If you have a question or would like to give us feedback, or ideas about future guests or topics, we’d love to hear from you so please give us a review and leave a comment wherever you get your podcasts, or get in touch by emailing us at <a href="mailto:spabireland@gmail.com">spabireland@gmail.com</a></p><p>For more information on SPAB Ireland:</p><p><a href="http://www.spab.org.uk/about-us/spab-ireland">www.spab.org.uk/about-us/spab-ireland</a></p><p>To follow us on social media:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/spabireland">www.instagram.com/spabireland</a></p><p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/spabireland">www.twitter.com/spabireland</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/spabireland">www.facebook.com/spabireland</a></p><p>Hosted by Róisín Beirne and Livia Artibani</p><p>Edited by Graeme Baldwin</p><p>Reviewed by Tríona Byrne, Shona O’Keefe, Gissella Renolfi & Róisín Beirne.  </p><p>Artwork by Róisín Beirne and Gissella Renolfi.</p><p>Theme music by Cillian Byrne.</p><p>Generously supported by the Heritage Council under their Heritage Capacity Fund 2023.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Shownotes</strong></p><p>Marianne's ideal house : <a href="https://kelmscottmanor.org.uk/" target="_blank">Kelmscourt manor, Gloucestershire</a> (retreat of SPAB founder William Morris) </p><p> </p><p>RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE :</p><p><a href="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/subopheventsltd/873461" target="_blank">Conference - Through the Looking Glass : A Future for Historic Windows</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.spab.org.uk/shop/product/old-house-eco-handbook
