Energy efficiency for heritage homes?

Think about how you could enhance your building's energy performance without compromising its historical integrity. Heritage Lane guides you through intelligent solutions for a more sustainable future.

Understanding your building's natural energy

The main thing we want people to understand about buildings is that thinking of a spinning planet with a magnetic pole. Your building, much like the Earth, has inherent characteristics that dictate its energy dynamics. By understanding these natural principles, we can work with them, rather than against them, to help achieve efficiency.

Food For Thought

Understanding how brick walls and especially modern day plasters can be electrically conductive, and why old historical photos show domed roofs clad in copper is worth looking into.

A lot of traditional properties are essentially natural electric power receivers.

Why does the earth naturally contains salts, which are electrically conductive?

Why are we taught that electricity causes  fire when mixed with water, yet if we add salts to water, we can then pass electricity through water safely?

And don't forget that it rains, and that rainwater is absorbed into that salt ridden earth, even when there's lightning storms.

Pyramids?

The walls: why were the walls  constructed from Granite blocks and then clad, externally, in alkaine, non conductive limestone.

The particular Granite found in the Pyramids is highly  electrically conductive.

What material were the capstones made from?

Why are we told that King's and Queens were entombed in the pyramids, yet the 'mummys' were recovered, a distance away, from "the valley of the Kings"

Just thinking.

We created the following phrase for good reason

The Inquisitive mind prevails, where the Assumptive mind fails.

 

Never assume!

Heritage Lane's approach to sustainable energy

We help people by encouraging them to use their brain, not their pockets. We advocate for thoughtful, informed decisions for your building's, over quick, often non historic fixes. Finally: why was "electroculture" removed in the Victorian Period? Food is getting expensive 🤔
