Post: Deep retrofit of a heritage community-owned pub

AECB Members Greengauge Building Energy Consultants sharing the deep retrofit of a heritage community-owned pub – we love to see it! Limpley Stoke Community Benefit Society (LSCBS) have succeeded in bringing the Hop Pole Inn back into use, and into community ownership.

The Limpley Stoke Community Benefit Society (LSCBS) has succeeded in retrofitting its 16^th century Wiltshire village pub, bringing it back into use, and into community ownership.  The retrofit aimed to address urgent structural issues and improve the building fabric and thermal performance of the pub. The Hop Pole Inn has now reopened following the sensitive retrofit of the Grade II listed building, led by conservation architects James Sibson RIBA  AABC, who led the capital works on the board for LSCBS, and Rhys Brookes RIBA AABC of Harrison Brookes.

Greengauge was part of the project team supporting the retrofit with modelling in PHPP (Passivhaus Planning Package), dynamic thermal modelling, 2D & 3D thermal bridging modelling, mechanical and electrical building services design and moisture risk analysis of internal wall insulation strategies, using WUFI modelling.
