Green Building & the Historic House

May 9, 2009

It seems that “Green” building and residential rehab projects are everywhere these days. What exactly does it mean to be “Green”? Is this just another advertising blitz? Is the “Green” movement a fad? Or is it just another modern building style represented in the numerous infill projects claiming to be “Green”, while putting development pressure on our traditional neighborhoods? In reality, there is a history of “Green Building,” one that dates back to the pre-electric age in the form of passive building practices and the use of particular historic building materials.

Wade Freitag is the owner of Craftsman Design and Renovation. Wade specializes in the renovation of older residential homes and believes we should look past the hype and embrace the green building movement from both the historical perspective and from the perspective of recent technological advancements. Join us as Wade explains how green building encompasses the entire design and building process - from the preservation of existing buildings and materials, to an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, and the use of environmentally friendly and sustainable new building materials. Reuse, Salvage, Recycle.
