To present the FuturHist project’s key aspects, we asked our coordinator, Daniel Herrera from Eurac Research, a few essential questions. In four short episodes, he explains our role, key research areas, objectives, and the impact we want to make in the field of historic buildings retrofit. Don’t miss any of them!
In episode 1, Daniel answers why it is important to address historic buildings in the context of the climate crisis. Hear about the role historic buildings have in mitigating climate change. Learn why FuturHist focuses on listed heritage and the broader stock of historic buildings worth preserving, and how these can support Europe’s climate goals.
In episode 2, Daniel explains, in what sense is FuturHit an innovative project? It truly is! Explore what a ‘standardised approach’ to retrofitting means. See how solutions tailored to specific demonstration cases can scale to similar European buildings, combining traditional, circular, and high-tech methods.
In episode 3, Daniel introduces the story behind FuturHist, from inspiration to knowledge sharing, building on experience to explore new directions. Discover the inspiration behind FuturHist, the diversity of its consortium, and how it builds on past European initiatives to drive innovation in historic building renovation, like Interreg Alpine Space Programme, 3ENCULT, or the International Energy Agency Task 59.
In episode 4, Daniel highlights the impact we hope to achieve with the FuturHist project. Understand the project’s expected impact and how FuturHist engages architects, building owners, public authorities, and researchers with practical, scalable solutions.
