This report is a description of lime rendering, lime wash and the intensive course in Visby, Sweden, which was attended by students from Gotland University in Sweden, Novia University of Applied Sciences in Finland and Estonian Academy of Arts in Estonia during a mild week in September of 2009. This was the first intensive course within the joint project Sustainable Heritage, which is financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers through Nordplus stipends. While rendering old buildings it is important to choose such new materials that work together with the original surface and structure. It is always safer to use soft materials, like pure lime renders, but this puts higher demands on the workmanship. In new buildings, mixtures of lime and cement might be the best solution. The report deals with the subject from the point of building physics as well as from a practical perspective.
