| The Landmark Society is delighted to be working with our statewide colleagues at the Preservation League of New York State and AIA New York State to bring an exciting new program to Rochester. On June 4, 2009, the National Preservation Institute will present a daylong workshop, “Green Strategies for Historic Buildings,” at the Rochester Museum & Science Center’s Eisenhart Auditorium.
Jean Carroon, FAIA, LEED AP, will present the practical applications of using green building strategies for historic structures, demonstrating how the environmental goal of “reduce, reuse, recycle” can enhance the capital cost competitiveness of preservation projects. Workshop participants will also review the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards used to assess building performance and focus on preservation challenges relating to energy efficiency, windows, lighting, indoor air quality, HVAC, and local and national codes and regulations.
Registration: $150 before April 23, or $175 after April 23 (Landmark Society and/or Preservation League members receive a $25 discount). Full-time students with valid ID qualify for a reduced rate of $125. Download the registration form here.
