Video suggestion: There are a ton of videos on YT that start with "a project that COULD change ..." but I was curious how past projects did actually have a direct impact on current technology and understanding. I am really curious to see how a single project went from just a theory to testing to actual market viability that affects my normal day-to-day life. Edit: This idea could surely turn into an entire series here on your channel and would love to see it.
What this boils down is education , You have the ability to turn boring in to the interesting and informative . I enjoy your videos as they keep me up with what is happening in the big side of town .
I am very skeptical that anything Man can do would change the climate. It seems a lot more probable to me that people are making a ton of money off of a climate change scare. Someone documented news media scares of the 20th century, and they oscillated between "desert Earth" and "global freeze" various times. Someone should do a frequency diagram to see if there's a decennial pattern to the scares.
No, no, nope Ben Maxson.Skyscrapers are the "it" due to expanding world population and our lands are limited . Agriculture ,forests and dams need these lands much more.
One of the interesting thing too is that Glasgow City is looking at building rooftops to support solar pvs - using GIS and Aerial photography suitability is being measured across the city. One such example is a town centre car park. All from a city, in a little around 50 years ago, was one of the "dirtiest" in Europe and still experiencing slum conditions. Of course I now get to the point when Valeria and Fergus appears :) Nice to see their tech getting an airing.
i completely understand you, but at the moment nuclear doesn't have the backing of the general population or goverment like solar, wind and hydro have and i'd say to stay away from nuclear for a little while more. Untill the incredabply promising new technologies that are now beeing developed in the field of nuclear energy are finnished solar might not be a terrible alternative
We'd be able to generate more electricity from solar, and heat less, but cooling requirements would be higher. Would be interesting to see what this kind of modelling would tell us about Queensland...
So CO2 in atmosphere lags temp change. It has varied in concentration from ~180ppm during the last glacial maximum to 7K or 8K ppm further back in time. Food crops and trees seem to prefer about 1K ppm. As CO2 has gone up recently there has been a noticeable greening of the planet. Why are people trying to limit plant food? Plants won’t grow at less than 120 ppm. There is no climate emergency, climate has always and will forever change. It’s a beautiful part of life on our planet. Current global temps aren’t even close to the temps reached during the Middle Ages or Holocene Climate Optimum. Though we are much warmer than during the little ice age which was the coolest half millennium during the Holocene. Warmer is better for life.
Fred thank you for showcasing our wonderful city so beautifully, one of the many ways we're tackling the climate crisis here in Glasgow, I myself have a small project through my work where we compost all the green waste we produce, which once tested is used to grow vegetables for the community, so it was great to see such an amazing project being carried out that could really change how we manage our energy consumption in the future. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more from the B1M
I would love it if the B1M dedicated an entire video on the massive scale of a carbon footprint it takes to make one single Tesla battery. If people really understood the environmental damage, the carbon emissions of the mining equipment, and the manufacturing equipment, and the like, they would understand that things are not as they seem when it comes to "being green"
I own a Tesla and I didn't care about the environmental impact. The car is cool and fast as fuck. It's cost was reasonable to purchase and I pay $40/ mo. for electric. I love the car and don't care about it's footprint

Now only if everyone could live on a massive compound with a stream and full government funding with zero accountability for the funds it would be perfect.
The point is that it is a government founded testing side for a new technology and if that technology is fully developed it can be used more cost-effective everywhere 😅
We can all take measures to reduce our energy use. This is just a massive example of that. Take a look at Ripple, individuals can invest in a wind farm or solar park in the UK for as little as £25. They’re building a windfarm just down the road from this Park in Glasgow and a solar farm in Devon.
B1M, you never actually got to how you will fix up the main old house so that it is itself efficient. Why did you leave that out when the Historic Mansion mentioned in your title was ... The Title!
There is essentially no way to insulate an old building because the walls are insanely thick and if you insulate from inside water vapour will destroy the walls over time. The "best" way would be to make a smaller insulated internal building and ventilate the gap between the wall and the insulation, but as you can imagine that gives up a lot of internal volume and is really expensive to do.
Solar panels in the Winter in Scotland are as useless as Hamza, retrofitting insulation in an old building when done properly is a lifetime of gain for a one off affordable cost but is limited, building new buildings with better insulation and efficiency and therefore using less energy during their lifetime is the way to go, but we are nowhere near that as yet, but are getting there very slowly!?!
In the push for sustainability, what amount of energy is expended up front during these renovations to then become a lower-emission product at the end? (Including the energy costs of sourcing material, manufacturing processes, etc.) Does the energy savings at the end outweigh the energy cost up front? If so, how far into the future is that "break-even" point? Or are we just trading one type of energy use for a different type?
In reality this means nothing. Every person in Scotland is still creating co2 in one way or another. Planned population reduction is the only viable solution.
The pay back timescale. If it were short, say 5-10 years, it'd be a no-brainer because it'd be relatively cheap. The big energy efficiency upgrades to older buildings cost a lot of money - think bespoke double glazed casements throughout to replace single glazing - and the payback in energy savings is nearer 50years!! ..longer than the service life of the replacement windows themselves
This project doesn’t demonstrate anything - apart from that if through endless money at a project you can reduce the carbon footprint. That tells us nothing about the feasibility of doing so.
Net-zero 🤣 is like saying the devout religious achieving no sin. Well, what else would the post industrial, post modern world spend its money and time on? I like the video's historical perspective nonetheless.
Refitting and upgrading existing buildings should be 80-90% of the plan to curb our climate impact. Except for listed buildings, that's a really tough sell when it's often cheaper to replace. But we need to comprehend that when a building is torn down, much of it goes 'away' to a landfill, and that in reality, there is no 'away'. It's 'somewhere else'. Great video!
Getting China to reduce their impact would be more productive, send the eco warriors there, China 29% of the Worlds pollution, UK less than 1% of the Worlds pollution, yes we should make our energy more resilient and renewable because we don't have vast amounts of oil and gas unfortunately, no we should not pay through the nose for it, if it ain't cheaper it don't work!?!

I'm guessing this is way more expensive on a per watt/h basis than it would be to create a larger-scale renewable energy solution and just connecting the manor complex to the grid, but that would take actual societal-scale investment and wouldn't be as high-profile so we get this rubish instead.

Talk about the costs associated with the mining of rare earth metals for solar panels and batteries and how long they are expected to last producing "clean" energy.
1) that’s not what this channel is about 2) that analysis has already been done, so rather than hypothesising in a comment section why don’t you read up on it and find out for yourself. If you think it doesn’t outweigh burned millions of tonnes of fossil fuels every year, you’re going to be disappointed by your research.
@@pyjamas9872 Imagine not factoring in the costs of all the fossil fuels you need to use to mine the metals, transport the resources to complete the job. The cost of repairs associated to maintain "clean" energy. The country that decides to use clean energy might get away with the pollution costs by outsourcing it to a country that doesn't really care about pollution but it's "clean" energy so you can feel good about it.
@@thastayapongsak4422if you listen to the video they explains that the house is being air conditioned (cooled). Windows should be designed with a overhanging roof so that sun gets in during winter (when the sun is low) but is blocked during summer (when it's high). That's not how that house was designed, which like John was saying, is designed like a greenhouse. But sure let's have China make tons of solar panels to compensate for the problem.
@@Niberspace it's a museum with some very old and delicate pieces, it'll always need perfect tuning by airco, heating and dehumidifiers. also this is in Glasglow, the hottest month is on average 15°C.. they would need more heating then airco if it wasn't designed like that
@@stijnjanssens571 not true, the purpose of an overhanging roof is that sun gets in during winter (when the sun is low) but is blocked during midday summer (when it's high). Fine-tuning with AC/heating is one thing, but requiring insane amounts of AC because there's no way of blocking midday-summer sun is very UK-engineering (ie. bad)
@@Niberspace it is indeed true that overhanging roofs are ment to still bring in light but keep out hot summer sun heat. Some of the earliest versions of this concept can be found in native american cliff dwellings that are quite common in places like New Mexico. The difference you're forgetting is that those are built in the desert, not in a colder climate like what can be found in Glasgow, there is a lot less of an overheating problem if it's practically always below the wanted room temperature outside. Plus Glasgow is also known as one of the rainiest cities of the U.K. so "hot summer sun" is not that much of a problem compared to colder seasons. (Of course I do not know the amount of energy consumption that this museum has in all of it's technical installations. so this is just an educated guess of geography and local climate compared to the design of the building) This does not mean that you are wrong about the fact that there is a very large and problematic air conditioning problem in a lot of places in the world at the moment, it just most likely doesn't apply to this particular building that much.
...was it just me, or were there barely any examples of how to make it more energy efficient...? They just kep saying 'we're thinking about how to make it an energy lab' like 10 times.
Yeah, putting solar panels on the roof probably won't work for most historic buildings. Plus that digital rendering software looked like it's about 20 years out of date. They really need to take a look at video game developers to make accurate digital models of buildings.
Suggesting solar at that latitude is somewhat preposterous! As a resident of Newfoundland I'd like to point out that around about mid November and on through to say April you're going to need to employ at least a couple of folks full time just to head up on the roof around 4am to begin scraping the ice off the panels. Of course you could have thermal elements built into the panels but that has a massive energy cost for any volume of solar. Long story short, leave the solar suggestions for latitudes below the frost line and take a more holistic approach to the entire endeavor. The Fins already solved this problem a decade ago with the country wide move to nuclear, their construction of the Onkalo nuclear waste storage facility as featured on the B1M last year resolves the only real issue with that tech. Scotland is extremely geologically stable as is most of Northern Europe as such the same concept could be deployed there. The answer has been the same for 60 years in the form of min maxing the hell out of modular nuclear and refining the tech to its zenith! We've tried putting bandaids on the problem for almost 4 decades in the form of highly unreliable generators such as wind, solar and tidal while ignoring the hard truth that as a species we're just scared of nuclear! We all need to stop making decisions based on fear and move on to advancing the state of the art in a technology that has proven to be the most safe, reliable and bountiful source of energy our species has ever devised. Canada the US and Sweden are already moving forward with further nuclear capacity and other countries are set to do the same, hopefully this marks the beginnings of a move toward a more realistic energy infrastructure.
too fix the climate what we need is to make way more muclear power plants, tidal power stations should be put along all the coasts where tidal protection is needed first like the white cliffs of dover for example.
@@ErikBramsen If it was that simple it would have been done already. NPP are extremely expensive and take a long time to first build and second become profitable. Don't even get started on political issues around NPPs. Look at Germany, shut off most NPPs due to political reasons, now its the most polluting country in the EU. Can it be done? Sure look at France, its doing quite well. But that is one part of the equation. Transportation and industry sector are also huge contributors to climate change. Just building NPPs is not enough.
And if you think that we should electrify the transportation sector, that isn't going to work. Prices of Lithium are rising, and are continuing to rise due to the ever increasing demand and low supply. Last time I checked, extracting Lithium is not very environmentally friendly.
Great work, filming on site and showing the new infrastructure makes the video excellent. I would like to see more on completed energy retrofit projects at heritage sites.
Hope "just stop oil" wont see this video Glasgow: what ? we are already one of the greenest cities in uk, we are making progress... just stop oil: stop everything NOW !! me: really ? including tiktok and cheap products from... just stop oil: you are racist !!
Not a chance they’re net zero by 2030. Also one complex on an estate with trees and a river and available sunlight cannot be compared to the urban Glasgow
AWESOME 👍 HEY I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY "JAMES BOND" ESK SECRET FEATURES IN ANY BUILDINGS YOU KNOW OF??? YOU KNOW AMAZING SECRET STUFF ESCAPE, BUNKER STUFF 😜😜😋😋👍👍🔥🔥😎😎👌🙏🙏🙏
I live across the road from a herd of white cows. Just like Fred, I was hanging out with them yesterday. And living in Nova Scotia, there are buildings and places like that here. Fewer now than in the past because so many of them have been demolished for "density". And its maybe not adding "all mod cons" to old places like that, its more like living the way they did three hundred or more years ago. In a way before the Industrial Revolution came.
Great video! I'm surprised that the renewable energy measures didn't make more of a percentage difference to the energy usage? I guess insulation is more important to reducing usage than the generation? You didn't mention heating, was anything changed with regards to heat?
Seems like the usual B1M propaganda, giving extremely positive and basic outline of the project while not bringing out any cons or negatives. An adverticment for the gullible.
Terminology like Carbon Neutrality vs Renewability are two separate things when put into paper. Renewable doesn't account for Nuclear, whereas Carbon Neutral does.
No. Ghislaine's father was a citizen of Czechoslovakia. He escaped to France around the start of World War 2, later serving in the British Army, and settled in Britain after the war, changing his name to Maxwell. Maxwell is a common surname in Scotland, but Ghislaine isn't related to any of them.
The buildings shown can never be made efficient(just putting lipstick on and old hag). Those resources could have been spent building modern buildings (high efficiency). It’s truly terrible that reporters keep reuse dialog going.
I’d be interested to know how these projects are being paid for. Not all cities and towns will have the means to invest this amount of money in the name of climate change.
Don't mind but your videos are for armatures. I have never found any real content. for example what's the high tech secret in this 270 year building ? LED and solar panels?
One problem issue is that for every person advocating for hydro power generation, there's someone screaming that the fish are being harmed by blocking their spawning paths.

Parks Canada has renovated a lot of its heritage buildings in national parks in a very transparent way. Adding double glazed windws is easy. (single pane replaced by single piece of thermos 2 pane window in the same or very similar frame. For a wooden building, the put insulation in the wall and air ducts with air flowing through the spacing between the wood planks that made internam wall surface. For a thick rock/concrete wall, it may provide sufficient R value to be acceptable.
Soooo, they put in new heaters, light bulbs, and added solar panels, and needed a fancy model to say that was a good call? Cool to see an iconic building get some love, but the actual work performed doesn’t appear to be anything special.
@@albertbatfinder5240 production quality =/= story telling. but i feel like B1M focusses on more specific storys now, compared to "top 10"/"most expensive" type videos, that were quite shallow in comparison.
Very interesting but not exactly the first heritage site to do this in terms of transforming the energy available on site. Visit Cragside House (Northumberland) Lord Armstrong was doing this in the 1800s. It’s a shame that Cragside House is a little known Natational Trust site.
Our local park - walked here every day during lockdown. Proud to have it so close and to call Glasgow home! It’s also great that the Burrell collection is now open again! It was a long wait for that renovation!
You have a beautiful home. It's over thirty years ago that I visited the Burrell Collection while I was attending a science fiction convention in Glasgow around about when it was named European city of culture. I still remember the experience well and it certainly blew away any preconceptions I might have had at the time due to Billy Connolly's jokes. :-)
How many years will it take for the energy saved by the new measures to offset all the materials involved in the upgrade? Alll the solar panels and batteries etc.
are you guys nuts ? the first 6 minutes of your video is total bla bla bla. how do you expect me to waste my time in the future when I com across your products ?
Great to see they're become more self reliant, but with all the land available around the buildings, why not do geothermal energy? It could potentially cut the heating costs tremendously
Wow, even in a rundown state, that old sawmill looks fantastic to me, but then it's maybe because I see beauty with some urban decay sites. Still, it looks to have great potential if restored and that location is killer. Lol, I just need an old Land Rover Defender to complete the vibe.

Better be careful with different "digital twin" tools. At least some of them are just an excuse to vendor lock you.
Talk about the costs associated with the mining of rare earth metals for solar panels and batteries and how long they are expected to last producing "clean" energy.
1) that’s not what this channel is about
2) that analysis has already been done, so rather than hypothesising in a comment section why don’t you read up on it and find out for yourself. If you think it doesn’t outweigh burned millions of tonnes of fossil fuels every year, you’re going to be disappointed by your research.
tsss. greta's watching...
@@pyjamas9872 Imagine not factoring in the costs of all the fossil fuels you need to use to mine the metals, transport the resources to complete the job. The cost of repairs associated to maintain "clean" energy. The country that decides to use clean energy might get away with the pollution costs by outsourcing it to a country that doesn't really care about pollution but it's "clean" energy so you can feel good about it.
People: We need to reduce emissions.
Architects: Let's make every building into an enormous greenhouse.
That's the best way to heat homes without using fuel.
@@thastayapongsak4422if you listen to the video they explains that the house is being air conditioned (cooled). Windows should be designed with a overhanging roof so that sun gets in during winter (when the sun is low) but is blocked during summer (when it's high). That's not how that house was designed, which like John was saying, is designed like a greenhouse. But sure let's have China make tons of solar panels to compensate for the problem.
@@Niberspace it's a museum with some very old and delicate pieces, it'll always need perfect tuning by airco, heating and dehumidifiers. also this is in Glasglow, the hottest month is on average 15°C.. they would need more heating then airco if it wasn't designed like that
@@stijnjanssens571 not true, the purpose of an overhanging roof is that sun gets in during winter (when the sun is low) but is blocked during midday summer (when it's high).
Fine-tuning with AC/heating is one thing, but requiring insane amounts of AC because there's no way of blocking midday-summer sun is very UK-engineering (ie. bad)
@@Niberspace it is indeed true that overhanging roofs are ment to still bring in light but keep out hot summer sun heat. Some of the earliest versions of this concept can be found in native american cliff dwellings that are quite common in places like New Mexico.
The difference you're forgetting is that those are built in the desert, not in a colder climate like what can be found in Glasgow, there is a lot less of an overheating problem if it's practically always below the wanted room temperature outside. Plus Glasgow is also known as one of the rainiest cities of the U.K. so "hot summer sun" is not that much of a problem compared to colder seasons. (Of course I do not know the amount of energy consumption that this museum has in all of it's technical installations. so this is just an educated guess of geography and local climate compared to the design of the building)
This does not mean that you are wrong about the fact that there is a very large and problematic air conditioning problem in a lot of places in the world at the moment, it just most likely doesn't apply to this particular building that much.
"Climate Resilient"....uh, is that a scientific term or a marketing term?
Dublin was considered "the second city of the British Empire" btw...
...was it just me, or were there barely any examples of how to make it more energy efficient...? They just kep saying 'we're thinking about how to make it an energy lab' like 10 times.
Sounded like a promo video.
Yeah, putting solar panels on the roof probably won't work for most historic buildings. Plus that digital rendering software looked like it's about 20 years out of date. They really need to take a look at video game developers to make accurate digital models of buildings.
🎉 I see trees 🌳 in a 1BM video “hits play”
Suggesting solar at that latitude is somewhat preposterous! As a resident of Newfoundland I'd like to point out that around about mid November and on through to say April you're going to need to employ at least a couple of folks full time just to head up on the roof around 4am to begin scraping the ice off the panels. Of course you could have thermal elements built into the panels but that has a massive energy cost for any volume of solar.
Long story short, leave the solar suggestions for latitudes below the frost line and take a more holistic approach to the entire endeavor. The Fins already solved this problem a decade ago with the country wide move to nuclear, their construction of the Onkalo nuclear waste storage facility as featured on the B1M last year resolves the only real issue with that tech. Scotland is extremely geologically stable as is most of Northern Europe as such the same concept could be deployed there. The answer has been the same for 60 years in the form of min maxing the hell out of modular nuclear and refining the tech to its zenith!
We've tried putting bandaids on the problem for almost 4 decades in the form of highly unreliable generators such as wind, solar and tidal while ignoring the hard truth that as a species we're just scared of nuclear! We all need to stop making decisions based on fear and move on to advancing the state of the art in a technology that has proven to be the most safe, reliable and bountiful source of energy our species has ever devised. Canada the US and Sweden are already moving forward with further nuclear capacity and other countries are set to do the same, hopefully this marks the beginnings of a move toward a more realistic energy infrastructure.
It doesn't matter, that building is no longer useful, just an image for "Old Superiority"
The beings responsible for this bs . Will pay for it
too fix the climate what we need is to make way more muclear power plants, tidal power stations should be put along all the coasts where tidal protection is needed first like the white cliffs of dover for example.
If it was that simple then climate change wouldn't even be a problem
@@2opmataron991 It really is that simple, except simpler because the tidal power plants are a totally superfluous waste of money.
@@ErikBramsen If it was that simple it would have been done already. NPP are extremely expensive and take a long time to first build and second become profitable. Don't even get started on political issues around NPPs. Look at Germany, shut off most NPPs due to political reasons, now its the most polluting country in the EU. Can it be done? Sure look at France, its doing quite well.
But that is one part of the equation. Transportation and industry sector are also huge contributors to climate change. Just building NPPs is not enough.
And if you think that we should electrify the transportation sector, that isn't going to work. Prices of Lithium are rising, and are continuing to rise due to the ever increasing demand and low supply. Last time I checked, extracting Lithium is not very environmentally friendly.
'Muclear' power. 🤔
Oh, if only we could derive energy from mucus. My sinuses can store gobs of it.
☇😤☇
0:07 I'm wondering where the rain is :P
Your content is broadcast quality stuff! Thank you!
Love to see modern tech integrated into old stuff.
So all they did was use solar and MAYBE a water wheel....very revolutionary.
This is just garbage!
Great work, filming on site and showing the new infrastructure makes the video excellent. I would like to see more on completed energy retrofit projects at heritage sites.
Fascinating video. And cool to see the Burrell collection, my wife and I visited there on our Scotland vacation about 10 years ago.
a digital twin... that is then cloned and mutated to fit the city? cool terms...
scared of a cow, such a city boy
Climate change from old to new modernization around Scotland
Beautiful Architect all💖💑
return the stolen artifacts
I am sorry, but no, we are not in a ''climate emergency''. This mass hysteria seriously needs to stop.
it will stop one way or another. Either they start to build nuclear stations, or gonna end up in 19th century. But I don't care, I live in Russia 😂😂
Hope "just stop oil" wont see this video
Glasgow: what ? we are already one of the greenest cities in uk, we are making progress...
just stop oil: stop everything NOW !!
me: really ? including tiktok and cheap products from...
just stop oil: you are racist !!
Not a chance they’re net zero by 2030. Also one complex on an estate with trees and a river and available sunlight cannot be compared to the urban Glasgow
AWESOME 👍 HEY I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY "JAMES BOND" ESK SECRET FEATURES IN ANY BUILDINGS YOU KNOW OF??? YOU KNOW AMAZING SECRET STUFF ESCAPE, BUNKER STUFF 😜😜😋😋👍👍🔥🔥😎😎👌🙏🙏🙏
I live across the road from a herd of white cows. Just like Fred, I was hanging out with them yesterday. And living in Nova Scotia, there are buildings and places like that here.
Fewer now than in the past because so many of them have been demolished for "density".
And its maybe not adding "all mod cons" to old places like that, its more like living the way
they did three hundred or more years ago. In a way before the Industrial Revolution came.
Great video! I'm surprised that the renewable energy measures didn't make more of a percentage difference to the energy usage? I guess insulation is more important to reducing usage than the generation? You didn't mention heating, was anything changed with regards to heat?
Such an amazing project! thanks for sharing such details with us!
Seems like the usual B1M propaganda, giving extremely positive and basic outline of the project while not bringing out any cons or negatives. An adverticment for the gullible.
Terminology like Carbon Neutrality vs Renewability are two separate things when put into paper. Renewable doesn't account for Nuclear, whereas Carbon Neutral does.
Is Ghislaine from that Maxwell family?
No. Ghislaine's father was a citizen of Czechoslovakia. He escaped to France around the start of World War 2, later serving in the British Army, and settled in Britain after the war, changing his name to Maxwell.
Maxwell is a common surname in Scotland, but Ghislaine isn't related to any of them.
The buildings shown can never be made efficient(just putting lipstick on and old hag). Those resources could have been spent building modern buildings (high efficiency). It’s truly terrible that reporters keep reuse dialog going.
Scottish lad: thar b a climate emergency!
Scottish lass: what'r we gunn-na dew?
Scottish lad: we'r gunn-na save the paintings!
I’d be interested to know how these projects are being paid for. Not all cities and towns will have the means to invest this amount of money in the name of climate change.
the tax payers pay for all this fancy stuff meanwhile many people cant afford basic things to live
Don't mind but your videos are for armatures. I have never found any real content. for example what's the high tech secret in this 270 year building ? LED and solar panels?
So it boils down to install a battery and solar panels and spending a fortune at consultants. The old building is entirely untouched it seems
One problem issue is that for every person advocating for hydro power generation, there's someone screaming that the fish are being harmed by blocking their spawning paths.
Why is one side "advocating for" while the other side is "screaming"? Both sides have valid considerations.
The mill dam has been there for centuries.
I don't see the downside.
@@jimurrata6785 I'm not on the side of doing away with dams whenre necessary, if it comes down to peoples' needs v. animals, I'll usually side with people. All the animal "rights" people can scream now!
Though ancient, I love the serenity and greenery of the countryside. Thanks for sharing, B1M!
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
Parks Canada has renovated a lot of its heritage buildings in national parks in a very transparent way. Adding double glazed windws is easy. (single pane replaced by single piece of thermos 2 pane window in the same or very similar frame. For a wooden building, the put insulation in the wall and air ducts with air flowing through the spacing between the wood planks that made internam wall surface.
For a thick rock/concrete wall, it may provide sufficient R value to be acceptable.
But Glasgow downtown is shite atm though. But there is hope. I would still happily live in Scotland.
Soooo, they put in new heaters, light bulbs, and added solar panels, and needed a fancy model to say that was a good call? Cool to see an iconic building get some love, but the actual work performed doesn’t appear to be anything special.
I haven't watched the channel in a couple of months and was completely stunned at the increase in production quality. really really great!
Check out the last few episodes, B1M has been on point lately!
I feel exactly the opposite. It used to get to the point. This was like an exercise for bunch of video editors.
@@albertbatfinder5240 production quality =/= story telling. but i feel like B1M focusses on more specific storys now, compared to "top 10"/"most expensive" type videos, that were quite shallow in comparison.
You need to go back and catch up 'The £100BN Railway Dividing a Nation' & 'Why No One Wants This New York Skyscraper' in particular.
Appreciate you staying away from all the buzz words.
Have they looked into geothermal systems for space heating and cooling?
Very interesting but not exactly the first heritage site to do this in terms of transforming the energy available on site. Visit Cragside House (Northumberland) Lord Armstrong was doing this in the 1800s. It’s a shame that Cragside House is a little known Natational Trust site.
Our local park - walked here every day during lockdown. Proud to have it so close and to call Glasgow home! It’s also great that the Burrell collection is now open again! It was a long wait for that renovation!
You have a beautiful home. It's over thirty years ago that I visited the Burrell Collection while I was attending a science fiction convention in Glasgow around about when it was named European city of culture. I still remember the experience well and it certainly blew away any preconceptions I might have had at the time due to Billy Connolly's jokes. :-)
Lame
How many years will it take for the energy saved by the new measures to offset all the materials involved in the upgrade? Alll the solar panels and batteries etc.
Honestly Fred, I thought you always got it right first time, every time...
I like older architecture than new ugly modern architecture.
are you guys nuts ? the first 6 minutes of your video is total bla bla bla. how do you expect me to waste my time in the future when I com across your products ?
Great to see they're become more self reliant, but with all the land available around the buildings, why not do geothermal energy? It could potentially cut the heating costs tremendously
great to see my home country and the city where I live and work on the channel. I hope we can be the bench mark that others follow for years to come
It's not surprising, most of the great inventions and inventors are/were Scottish.
Wow, even in a rundown state, that old sawmill looks fantastic to me, but then it's maybe because I see beauty with some urban decay sites. Still, it looks to have great potential if restored and that location is killer. Lol, I just need an old Land Rover Defender to complete the vibe.
Huge amount of money wasted for a useless building
That museum looks so ugly compared to the old buildings lol
I like B1M but there’s really nothing new here
@1:34 - Ghostbuster convention.
that house consumes as much energy as 118 uk houses...... how much are you willing to pay to keep the rich beautiful and comfortable.
No rich people live in the house now. It belongs to the National Trust and is open to the public.
