Preservation Is Sustainability: How to Make Your Historic House More Energy Efficient

Preservation Is Sustainability: How to Make Your Historic House More Energy Efficient

Sustainability doesn't mean starting from scratch. Buzzwords like "greenscape," "lo-energy" or "LEED" can enthuse and confuse owners of older buildings, leaving them unsure how to maintain their properties, or under the impression that "green" building is only for new construction. Sustainability also triggers a wide range of questions, from the broad policy implications of re-using buildings and re-investing in our communities, to the calculations of embodied energy in existing materials, to practical matters such as whether or not to install new windows, green roofs or solar panels.

To ensure that preservation basics are not lost, the Landmarks Conservancy presents "Preservation is Sustainability: How to Make Your Historic House More Energy Efficient."

Speakers:
Walter Sedovic, AIA LEED, Principal & CEO, Walter Sedovic Architects, moderator
Christine Benedict, R.A. ARCHITECTURE AND ENERGY LIMITED
William Neeley, Deputy Director, Preservation, Landmarks Preservation Commission
Rebecca Williams, Program Officer, Northeast Regional Office, National Trust for Historic Preservation.
