ICOMOS Malta Lunchtime Lecture Series
ICOMOS Malta is delighted to announce its Lunchtime Lecture Series, which will deal with a number of current conservation issues.
The first lecture in our series will describe the “Ventilation Service Details and Construction Methods Adopted in British Military Structures in Malta” and will be delivered by ICOMOS Malta Secretary Ms Charlene Borg.
For the majority of the British period in Malta, ventilation and climate control was achieved almost exclusively through passive methods. This was especially critical in high occupancy military buildings such as barracks and quarters. However, many of these methods fell out of use with the widespread adoption of electrical air conditioning and mechanical ventilation. Hence, it is increasingly important to recover some of this knowledge, especially in the light of the modern world’s ecological condition, the volatility of the cost of power, and the increased awareness of carbon emissions. These past methods may well be one of the elements that paves the way to a greener future.
The event will be held at the Faculty of the Built Environment at the with University of Malta. It can also be accessed remotely via the link provided:
