Title: Sustainable Stewardship: Greening Historic Buildings

Description: The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Sustainability Program is demonstrating that conservation and improvement of our existing built resources, including re-use of historic and older buildings, greening the existing building stock, and reinvestment in older and historic communities, is crucial to combating climate change.  The construction and operation of buildings accounts for more than 40% of the United State’s carbon dioxide emissions. But reusing and retrofitting our existing buildings can reduce these emissions dramatically. In fact, our existing buildings are one of our greatest renewable resources.
 
Barbara Campagna, the Chief Architect of the National Trust, will discuss the National Trust’s Sustainability Program and how the 29 historic sites of the National Trust are integrating historic preservation values with green building practices – from green housekeeping techniques to sustainability master plans to LEED certification for historic rehabilitations.

Short panel discussion to follow with:

Jennifer Iredale, A/Director - BC Heritage Branch, Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Arts
Ray Hunt, MAIBC, RIBA, LEED AP, InsideOut Planning and Architecture Inc.
Helen Cain, MAP, Planner / Community Planning, Planning and Development Department, City of Victoria
David Coulson, David Coulson Design Ltd.
Barbara A. Campagna, FAIA, LEED AP

Panelists will have 2 - 3 minutes each to discuss one of the following questions:

• “What do developers, builders and architects need (from Government, from Cascadia, from others) to start greening heritage as a regular practice and start being sensitive to heritage in all green projects?”
• “Can you share examples of opportunities you have been part of that make for a successful ‘green rehabilitation’ project?”
