Title: Retrofitting the 1 in 3 - the traditional buildings of Wales
Date: Wednesday 1st February 2017
Location: Swansea
Time: 8am - 11am

Right across Wales, there are works required to nearly ½ Million traditionally built houses and buildings, to ensure their continued use within the built environment – for the sake of the buildings themselves and the people of Wales that occupy them. By improving our knowledge of these buildings constructed with solid masonry walls, before 1919, we will be able to properly and safely improve them. Ensuring that Architects, surveyors, contractors and small builders understand that the traditional housing stock cannot treated the same way as their modern counterparts as this can often have severe unintended consequences, affecting both the occupiers and reputation.

Colin King of BRE, John Edwards of Edwards Hart and Constructing Excellence in Wales are on the road to show the country and industry what is needed and how to take a holistic approach. To identify the many other ways in which buildings can be made more energy efficient and sustainable before contemplating retrofit, which will include the latest research findings from BRE on Unintended Consequences, and Heat Loss, undertaken for DECC, including  their cause and effect, and how to reduce the risk.

As the Director of Edwards Hart, John Edwards said: “It’s a huge mistake to jump in and retrofit without first properly understanding the building and its condition”.

Teitl: Ol-Osod yr 1 o bob 3 - Adeiladau Traddodiadol Cymru
Dyddiad: Dydd Mercher 1 Chwefror
Lleoliad: Abertawe
Amser: 8 - 11
Cost: £45 a TAW/neu hanner pris o £22.50 + TAW i aelodau Ffederasiwn y Meistri Adeiladu (FMB)

Drwy Gymru ben baladr, rhaid trin bron i hanner miliwn o dai ac adeiladau traddodiadol er mwyn sicrhau eu parhad o fewn yr amgylchedd adeiledig – er lles yr adeiladau eu hunain a’u defnyddwyr. Drwy ddysgu mwy am yr adeiladau hyn – adeiladau a godwyd gyda waliau cerrig solid cyn 1919 - gallwn eu gwella mewn ffyrdd priodol a diogel. Rhaid i benseiri, syrfewyr, contractwyr ac adeiladwyr bychain sylweddoli na ellir trin tai traddodiadol yn yr un ffordd â thai modern. Gall gwneud hynny arwain yn aml at effeithiau dwys ac anfwriadol, er drwg i’w meddiannwyr a’ch enw da.

Colin King o’r Sefydliad Ymchwil Adeiladu (BRE), John Edwards o Edwards Hart ac Adeiladu Arbenigrwydd yng Nghymru (CEW) yn teithio o amgylch i ddangos i’r wlad a’r diwydiant beth sydd angen ei wneud, a phwysigrwydd gweithredu’n holistaidd. Nodir llawer o ffyrdd gwahanol o ofalu fod adeiladau’n gwneud defnydd mwy effeithlon a chynaliadwy o ynni cyn ystyried mynd lawr y llwybr ôl-osod (retrofit). Cewch wybod am ganlyniadau ymchwil diweddaraf BRE i’r Aran Ynni a Newid Hinsawdd (DECC) ar Ddeilliannau Anfwriadol a Cholli Gwres, yn cynnwys y rhesymau drostynt, eu heffeithiau a sut i leihau risg.

Fel y dywedodd John Edwards, Cyfarwyddwr Edwards Hart: “Camgymeriad mawr yw rhuthro i ôl-osod heb yn gyntaf ddeall yr adeilad a’i gyflwr”.
