Green Building, Energy Efficiency and Historic Preservation

New York City's Landmark West! will offer a seminar on Green Building, Energy Efficiency and Historic Preservation on April 25, 2007. The day-long seminar will explore the inherent environmental sustainability of historic buildings. Subtopics will include improving energy and building efficiency, how to incorporate green building philosophy into apartment renovations and recognizing what design elements can be restored and when replacement is necessary.

Another day-long seminar, the Evolution of Interior and Exterior Residential Building Design-Architectural Styles and Historic Preservation will be offered on May 9, 2007. Participants will be able to identify architectural styles and learn how to date buildings through analysis of specific building interior and exterior design elements and materials. Speakers will also address the evolution of apartment living, including interior plans and how interior and exterior design elements relate to one another.

Each of these one-day seminars will enable the participant to obtain 7½ hours of continuing education credits to meet the New York State requirement of 22½ hours. (Approval pending for May 9th lecture).
