Abstract

The Traditional Buildings Health Check (TBHC) scheme in Stirling was set up in 2013 as a fiveyear pilot to support owners of older buildings to tackle repairs. It also aimed to effect culture change in attitudes to proactive maintenance, encouraging owners to undertake repairs regularly. The scheme has been very successful and continues to be delivered by the Stirling City Heritage Trust, recently expanding beyond the city boundary. With increasing concerns over the impact of climate change, the TBHC has a role to play is supporting owners to ensure that their buildings are in good repair and dry before installing appropriate measures to improve their energy efficiency. The scheme is currently unique in Scotland but there is potential for expansion elsewhere to support tackling disrepair and the climate emergency.
