Preservationists already know that the greenest building is the one already constructed, but beyond that there are numerous ways in which older and historic buildings of all shapes and sizes can be made even greener. To discuss the many possibilities of “greening” our older buildings, the AHC has gathered a panel of area experts.

Bring your questions and please join us for a lively discussion as Joy Sears from the State Historic Preservation Office, along with Valerie Garrett, from the City of Portland, Marshall Runkel from EcoTech LLC, and Kyle Barton of the Conservation Services Group, among others, gather to offer their insight into the possibilities for preservationists to continue going “green,” while also preserving area history and architecture.
