Historic Property Management: Materials to Systems
Greensboro, NC — October 7-9, 2014
Historic property management combines preservation maintenance with modern systems management. Learn how to read your building, search for solutions, and then care for the building envelope by maintaining its historic materials. Explore how to balance the environmental needs of the building with its users. Understand the impacts on historic properties of pest management practices and mechanical building systems—HVAC, plumbing, fire, security, and lighting. Discuss how to train in-house staff and when to hire a specialist to identify a problem or a contractor to handle a specific task. An agenda is available at www.npi.org.
Instructors. Ernest A. Conrad, P.E., LEED AP, CEM, BEAP, professional environmental engineer specializing in environmental systems for museums, archives, and historic facilities; co-author of “Museums, Libraries and Archives Design” in the ASHRAE Handbook and of Archival and Special Collections Facilities Guidelines.
