Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA)

Energy efficiency for historic buildings

Buildings from different periods have fundamental differences in how they have been designed to manage heat and moisture, and the skills and materials needed to maintain, repair, and responsibly adapt them. Solutions designed for the 80% of houses built after 1919 may not be appropriate for your home. They can be aesthetically damaging, environmentally ineffective or counter-productive, and in the worst cases cause harm to the health of the occupants. 

For further guidance for historic buildings, please visit the Energy efficiency for historic buildings page.
