Sustainable preservation

The Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines on Sustainability for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings from the U.S. Department of the Interior and National Park Service is a good resource for learning about inherently sustainable features of historic buildings, as well as guidance on making sensitive sustainability interventions.

Though these guidelines are written with ‘capital H’ Historic Preservation in mind, they make a great starting point for thinking about culturally sensitive retrofits of any existing building or neighborhood.
