Belfast 2022 Conference and Gathering
Building Limes Forum Ireland (BLFI) hosted the BLF Annual Conference at Queen’s University, Belfast on the 2nd – 4th of September 2022. The conference featured many industry and keynote speakers including…
- Dr Joanne Curran ‘Monitoring Moisture in Solid Walls to inform Specification Decisions’
- Chris Pennock – ‘Nidaros Cathedral, Trondheim Norway’
- Benjamin Mouton – ‘Notre Dame, Paris Repair and Restoration’
The last day of the conference was dedicated to the theme of Climate Change, with both local and international experts delivering a number of papers on the use of thermally insulating lime renders and their place in addressing energy performance in our historic building stock.
Thank you to everyone who attended.
