Energy Conservation in Historic Buildings

ALBANY, NY (05/20/2011)(readMedia)-- Energy Conservation in Historic Buildings workshops are designed for contractors, architects and other building professionals. These workshops focus on energy conservation issues of interest to those who work in older buildings, but who do not specialize in historic preservation or historic structures. For example, a contractor hired to insulate a 1920s residence or an architect who wants to understand the application of air sealants for a mixed-use building rehabilitation would come away with information that would help them better serve their clients. Participants will receive technical information on the 2010 NYS Energy Conservation Construction Code and its applications for historic buildings in both classroom and field presentations.
