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.
Do you use a smart phone or a tablet?
No
I am interested in something like this as well, I think Fred touched on previous projects in his videos about failed projects.
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.
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!!!!
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.
Thank you for visiting my city, I hope you enjoyed it 🏴
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.
Same
Loved being part of this project. Well done everyone. Great video.
We need buildings like this here!
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...
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 UA-cam.
I love my city, proud to be from Glasgow
England is my city.
same, should be the capital ;)

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.
Excellent! Retrofitting old buildings has not received near enough attention in climate adaptation media 👍🏼
Love to see modern tech integrated into old stuff.
What an amazing video, like any other In this channel! 👏
Keep It up! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹❤
Even this channel’s sponsored content is excellent
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. :-)
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
Fascinating video. And cool to see the Burrell collection, my wife and I visited there on our Scotland vacation about 10 years ago.
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.
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*
Though ancient, I love the serenity and greenery of the countryside. Thanks for sharing, B1M!
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!?!
Thank you B1M! Another outstanding video!
well, they could also re-naturalize the giant golf court next door.
Such an amazing project! thanks for sharing such details with us!
Fantastic video as always. Amazing quality and very hopeful!
Your content is broadcast quality stuff! Thank you!
Finally another video from you guys. Been waiting this whole week ❤️
Haha, what a torturous 7 days it's been 😂
That's why you have to be subscribed for Tomorrow's Built
@@TheB1M hahaha Daily would be nice ;)
@@PatrickTrpeskiii of course
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.
Very underrated city for its architecture in my opinion. Not quite as magnificent as Edinburgh but it’s still nice
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
In general I think the solar boner needs to end and people need to just accept nuclear is the way fwd
Always learn such interesting things watching this channel, thank you so much for making it both entertaining and educational. x
Day by day this channel has become an advertising agent rather than what they used to be, an technical explanating channel
Fantastic video, fantastic channel. Keep up the good work!
The quality of these videos is just going up. Keep it going!
Great timing! I’m about to go to Scotland this weekend for the first time 🥳📯✨🏴
I love when I stumble upon a source of great content in UA-cam! Great channel.
Fascinating. Thanks for making this film 👍
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.
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!
Thank you so much! My father love so much this country, in my heart. Smiling
Honestly Fred, I thought you always got it right first time, every time...
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.
@@UhOhUmm Thank you for that response. I appreciate that.
The colouring on this video is astounding! 👏🏻
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.
we are trading co2 in our countries for more co2 in poor countries + toxic waste in rivers with slave Child labor
I have wondered that also
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
Good question.
So they are adding solar panels and some insulation. Big woop!
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!?!
Fred you are the best. Huge fan of your videos. Keep them coming
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.
Wow, I would love to see that in person... So much history...
That green bin in the water at 7:45! 🤣 Great channel, love the content.
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.
Now I’m wishing I’d visited Glasgow on my UK vacation this last summer! Looks gorgeous. 😍
Heh yeah just don’t venture too far in the wrong direction
Just means you have an excuse to come back. lol 😉
@@perceptoshmegington3371 Perhaps 20 years ago. You could walk anywhere at night alone in the city and you'd be fine.
@@stzef wrong
@@perceptoshmegington3371 I literally live here. It's as safe a place as any
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 😅
Nobody lives there.
Yes
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.
So good to see historic buildings being featured here.
🎉 I see trees 🌳 in a 1BM video “hits play”
that image quality tho 👌👌
great work!
What a fascinating video - a positive example of what can be done, if there is a willingness to .......
Beautiful
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"
Proud to live in Glasgow 🏴
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
Climate change from old to new modernization around Scotland
Beautiful Architect all💖💑
What a beautiful place
Awesome video! Would also like to see planting more trees as part of the plan : )
great ideas. Well done.
Love these videos on the UK! We need one on Heathrow and Manchester airport
I love Scotland, great video my friend. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Beautiful place is worth a visit.
Great video!
Thank You
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.
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.
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
B1M Changing the game again - the definitive channel for sure
Things like this make me never want to leave Scotland. Born here, and I'm gonna die here
I love this channel.
Thanks! We love our viewers! 🙌
Who doesn't
@@TheB1M can you explain the meaning of the name?
@@justaguyfromreddit The acronym BIM stands for Building Information Modelling. That's a process and a way of working, not a physical object or an entity.
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?
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.
☇😤☇
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.
yeah, but if the building has "listed" status, changing windows for double or triple glazed is not really an option.
@@jur4x I understand your point. Sadly status is everything in our world today, so half measures prevail.
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.
Oof! I live just down the road, go running past Pollok House regularly. Would have been cool to see you filming.
@1:34 - Ghostbuster convention.
Loving the wheelie bin in the weir
This would be the perfect application for an RTG power core to cover the base load and nighttime needs and solar to pick up the extra daytime load. With some large capacitors to even it out. The waste heat from the RTG could then be used for heating.
Thanks
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.
What software does IES use for the digital twinning?
Ensuring the stability industrial and must be balancing the increasing eco environment. Saving as much as we can such as water, electrical, air etc. Thank you
Would be nice to do more videos on Warsaw changing skyline. People would love it.
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.
I suddenly want to visit.
How can a single camera bring the back and foreground into focus like this? It gives it such bizzare quality
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!
Dublin was considered "the second city of the British Empire" btw...
Terminology like Carbon Neutrality vs Renewability are two separate things when put into paper. Renewable doesn't account for Nuclear, whereas Carbon Neutral does.
That "wildlife" almost got you!
How cool!
Appreciate you staying away from all the buzz words.
Really great video. Question...was that a green Wheely bin in the river? lol
