Churches and Chapels Guide Wales, UK - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Efficient Buildings

[EN] Very many Welsh church and chapel buildings that were built or substantially refurbished during periods of significant church growth in the 19th century and key features of the buildings point towards similar solutions to the modern problem of rendering them comfortable for intermittent use today – at reasonable cost. This is often true even though the external appearance of the buildings may vary dramatically. The guide provides low carbon solutions to fit most circumstances.
