The Challenges of Preservation
• The Building exists
• Integrated, sustainable design should be embodied throughout the form of the building
• In a Preservation/ Rehabilitation, we are retrofitting “Add Ons”

The Challenges of Preservation
• The Building exists
• Integrated, sustainable design should be embodied throughout the form of the building
• In a Preservation/ Rehabilitation, we are retrofitting “Add Ons”
The Advantages of Preservation
• The Building exists
• Older buildings often include forms and materials that allow for passive systems
• The “Add Ons” can make a big difference in building performance
• Baseline for calculating incentives is Existing Condition rather than Current Code
