GBGW Learning
Join BPT on Thursday 15th June at 5.30pm for an evening of discussion around energy conscious design and approaches to improving the performance of older homes.
BPT was established 89 years ago to campaign for the conservation and sustainable development and enhancement of the architecture, public realm and amenity, green spaces and rural setting of Bath and its environs. The World Heritage inscriptions reference the green setting of the city as a hollow in the hills, and the therapeutic landscape of international importance and fundamental to the heritage of Bath.
Our lush, green, landscape city is a beautiful place to live and to work but depends on thriving ecosystems, a clean and healthy environment and most importantly the ability to mitigate and adapt to the Climate and Ecological Emergency. We can all do this in many ways, by
- Respectfully adapting older buildings to be thermally efficient limiting carbon emissions
- Using zero carbon technologies to build much needed new homes and buildings
- Break dependence on fossil and organic fuels for heating and transport
- Increase carbon absorption by retaining the Green Belt for carbon absorption
- Make Bath a more wildlife friendly and green city
Join us and support BPT beyond Big Green Week towards a more sustainable future for Bath.
