The guidance wheel depicts more than 50 measures that can be used for the retrofitting or refurbishing of traditional buildings. It encourages exploration of the measures’ advantages, concerns about their performance, and possible interactions between them.

The guidance wheel created by the the Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance (STBA) provides you with the opportunity to research the interactions between different options of retrofit.
The wheel highlights linkages between potential interactions (shown via coloured lines linking different topics), the benefits of a particular measure, as well as any concerns. These concerns are based around technical, heritage, and energy issues.
The tool allows you to choose your range of measures, then it categorises the risks associated with these and provides hyperlinks to the peer-assessed research that has been produced on the topics in question.
The guidance wheel depicts more than 50 measures that can be used for the retrofitting or refurbishing of traditional buildings. It encourages exploration of the measures’ advantages, concerns about their performance, and possible interactions between them.
Each measure has a number of advantages and concerns (categorised into technical, heritage, and energy). The concerns are colour-coded and their summaries are shown in the wheel ‘rings’ for technical, heritage, and energy concerns.
The tool also allows you to create and print out a summary report, which contains all the detail of the context and measures chosen, their advantages, concerns, and related measures, with details of suggested actions to minimise risk and references to follow up.
