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.

I like the change of scenery Fred. From skyscrapers to Mansions, you and your team do it all. More videos like this would be highly appreciated!!!!

Loved being part of this project. Well done everyone. Great video.

Thank you for visiting my city, I hope you enjoyed it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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"

We need buildings like this here!

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

Guys, you've become a benchmark for cinematic filmmaking -- other than second-to-none architectural resource on KZfaq.

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.

Excellent! Retrofitting old buildings has not received near enough attention in climate adaptation media 👍🏼

I love my city, proud to be from Glasgow

In general I think the solar boner needs to end and people need to just accept nuclear is the way fwd

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!

I haven't watched the channel in a couple of months and was completely stunned at the increase in production quality. really really great!

As an Irish man and someone who has travelled a lot, Glasgow is one place I've never been to. These are beautiful historic buildings and its great to see their preservation is maintained through modern technology. I need to go there and visit the city soon.

Even this channel’s sponsored content is excellent

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!

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?

Love to see modern tech integrated into old stuff.

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.

What an amazing video, like any other In this channel! 👏 Keep It up! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹❤

Fascinating video. And cool to see the Burrell collection, my wife and I visited there on our Scotland vacation about 10 years ago.

Fantastic channel Fred and the whole team does amazing work. Been watching since your video about the undersea tunnel in Norway. I wish you more success in the years to come. Cheers

Though ancient, I love the serenity and greenery of the countryside. Thanks for sharing, B1M!

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!

Love this channel! Thank you for your hard work.

“As we all remember in great detail…” *Fred explains something no one’s ever heard about*

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.

Finally another video from you guys. Been waiting this whole week ❤️

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.

well, they could also re-naturalize the giant golf court next door.

So they are adding solar panels and some insulation. Big woop!

Chocolate milk comes from brown fluffy cows

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.

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.

So a city that was incredibly productive producing ships is now a well insulated unproductive nothingness 🙄

Such an amazing project! thanks for sharing such details with us!

Day by day this channel has become an advertising agent rather than what they used to be, an technical explanating channel

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.

People: We need to reduce emissions. Architects: Let's make every building into an enormous greenhouse.

Fred you are the best. Huge fan of your videos. Keep them coming

Now I’m wishing I’d visited Glasgow on my UK vacation this last summer! Looks gorgeous. 😍

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.

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

Your content is broadcast quality stuff! Thank you!

Climate change from old to new modernization around Scotland Beautiful Architect all💖💑

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.

Honestly Fred, I thought you always got it right first time, every time...

Great timing! I’m about to go to Scotland this weekend for the first time 🥳📯✨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dublin was considered "the second city of the British Empire" btw...

That green bin in the water at 7:45! 🤣 Great channel, love the content.

Proud to live in Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love when I stumble upon a source of great content in KZfaq! Great channel.

Always learn such interesting things watching this channel, thank you so much for making it both entertaining and educational. x

So good to see historic buildings being featured here.

Your voice tickle my heart and mind. . More Green Energy to your channel. . Thanks a lot for your information ❤❤❤

I saw huge fields surrounding the the buildings, just install nibe geothermal heat pumps with horizontal pipes across the fields, the sun charges the field every summer unlike a heat well that cools off after 30-50 years... You can easily cut the heating bill in half and the grass is easy to grow back on the field

I love this channel.

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.

Great stuff. Research needs to go into the Burrell Collection building - there are now several studies that show that waht used to be considered "essential" environmental controls for art/history museuems are in fact wrong, based on wrong assumptions and spurious thinking. If some of the hitherto essetial climate control patterns can be refined, the opportunity for more cost effective and energy efficient systems become thinkable and doable.

Thank you so much! My father love so much this country, in my heart. Smiling

🎉 I see trees 🌳 in a 1BM video “hits play”

Terminology like Carbon Neutrality vs Renewability are two separate things when put into paper. Renewable doesn't account for Nuclear, whereas Carbon Neutral does.

Thank you B1M! Another outstanding video!

I understand preservation and I wonder if they actually rebuilt the old window frames to reduce drafts. Of course shifting to double or triple pane windows would make a huge difference.

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?

The colouring on this video is astounding! 👏🏻

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

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.

It doesn't matter, that building is no longer useful, just an image for "Old Superiority"

The quality of these videos is just going up. Keep it going!

Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

@1:34 - Ghostbuster convention.

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

So all they did was use solar and MAYBE a water wheel....very revolutionary.

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.

Things like this make me never want to leave Scotland. Born here, and I'm gonna die here

"counting of carbon" uttered as if it's such an innocuous term. It'll be the undoing of civilization. Huge mistake.

Love these videos on the UK! We need one on Heathrow and Manchester airport

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

...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.

Better be careful with different "digital twin" tools. At least some of them are just an excuse to vendor lock you.

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.

Very beauteful place, views and a lot of work in filming. Regarding decarbonisation hype I enjoy real action now: reality knock to door of castle with pink ponies. Gas prices skyrocketed, carbon power plants back onine, people hunt firewood... It looks like modern tech moving to those which were originally in this buildings. Awesome!

But Glasgow downtown is shite atm though. But there is hope. I would still happily live in Scotland.

Fantastic video as always. Amazing quality and very hopeful!

Hope the UK loves paying more taxes to rich for these "Green Projects"

Appreciate you staying away from all the buzz words.

What a beautiful place

The beings responsible for this bs . Will pay for it

Beautiful

Would be nice to do more videos on Warsaw changing skyline. People would love it.

Wow, I would love to see that in person... So much history...

If the video is predominantly about the museum, then why is the old mansion in the thumbnail… So basically what I’ve learned is that I should build a nice shiny new building with lots of solar panels next to my old building, will do!

8:42: If you think Scotland’s cold, try heading to Yakutsk.

that image quality tho 👌👌 great work!

that house consumes as much energy as 118 uk houses...... how much are you willing to pay to keep the rich beautiful and comfortable.

What a fascinating video - a positive example of what can be done, if there is a willingness to .......

B1M Changing the game again - the definitive channel for sure
