The topic I will be discussing is the effects to become environmentally friend within preservation and what the benefits are. Currently people are doing this with their homes, which are more than likely a lot newer than most historic building. I will hope to find through my research what new plans the historical society has or maybe what other areas in the country are doing to keep up with current trends in being green, and staying green for the future (as best as possible). Also, I would like to know what some of the challenges are that come in the way of making this an easier transition.
The topic connects to the ideas of the class because in essence you are doing this with the building itself, re-using it. What happens though when an historic building does, for whatever reason, get torn down. Or a building that wasn't quite able to become historic and gets torn down? The parts are probably in pieces with no use whatsoever.
I'd like to see what the challenges are with old technology and adapting to new technologies. Certain things 50 years ago aren't the same as now, which would make it difficult to work with in trying to be green. I am also curious to see how others have reacted to trying to keep their historic building green, if they even want to.
