8th Feb 2010, 17:49Association for Studies in the Conservation of Historic Buildings Annual General Meeting and ConferenceThursday 4 March 2010. The 2010 ASCHB Conference marking ASCHB’s 40th year is designed to look at the wider historic environment rather than the more usual terrain of the research on and conservation of higher grade listed buildings and monuments. The conference will look at how we demonstrate the value of the historic environment to meeting sustainability targets and how historic buildings and areas can be seen as adaptable to lower carbon consumption energy and places for sustainable living. It aims to give heritage professionals some ammunition to argue the case for the retention and adaptation of historic properties and places in the future.
