PNJ Building Industry Network (BIN) Charrette :
Greener Heritage - Enhancing Sustainability in Adaptive Use
This
working seminar tackles the question: How "green" can we make historic
preservation? PNJ presents a daylong Charrette in which preservation
practitioners are invited to join LEED-certified professionals in
analysis of the Musical String Co. factory site in New Brunswick,
identifying opportunities for maximizing the "green" potential of this
(unrehabilitated) industrial landmark. Participants will explore issues
such as rehabilitation v. replacement of existing historic materials;
energy sources for lighting, HVAC, etc.; how to insulate historic
buildings; water conservation; and indoor air quality. LEED rating and certification potential for preservation projects will be addressed.
Charrette LEED professional leaders include:
Carl Elefante, AIA, LEED AP, Quinn Evans Architects, Washington D.C.
Peter Levasseur AIA, LEED AP, Ewing Cole Architects, Philadelphia
Ira Guterman, Princeton Engineering Group, Princeton
Funded in part by grant from National Trust for Historic Preservation, Henry A. Jordan Preservation Excellence Fund.
