The Greenest Building: The Research to Back it Up <br />On Tuesday the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Preservation Green Lab <br />released The Greenest .Building: Ouantifvinz the Environmental Value of.Buildin¢ Reuse, <br />the most comprehensive research to date showing that preservation is good for the <br />environment. Using life cycle assessment this study compares the reuse of existing <br />buildings to demolition and new construction, revealing that building reuse typically <br />yields fewer environmental impacts than new construction when comparing buildings of <br />similar size, functionality, and energy efficiency. This is just one of the findings in this <br />report that supports the critical link between preservation and sustainability. Sent link to <br />all applicable elected officials and new interns. Interviewed a third Intern Candidate <br />from Notre Dame. <br />Spoke with Jackie Beals from Custom Awning about their proposed project on the <br />American Trust Place. Sent information to Donna Whipple about landmarked farm <br />house on Hickory. <br />1 February Discussion with Shane Fimbel, COO of Global Access at Union Station <br />about their plans and goals for 2012. Also requested use of the Union Station for the 4 <br />May Southhold/Pride of Place Awards. Set up appointment on 10 February for him to <br />review our files and to share information on the 5 May tour group of 1300 from the New <br />York Central Historical Society. Rotary guest speaker was SBCSC Superintendent, <br />Carole Schmidt. Introduced myself to her as Director of the Rotary Charitable <br />Foundation that funds the Phoenix Scholarships and the3R's projects with school <br />buildings and as Director of HPC with the landmarked School Buildings. Marquette was <br />positioned by me as an Intermediate Montessori, which she then indicated that there was <br />parental support for that to happen -but the building needs work. I responded with a <br />Building trades class doing the window restorations and then leaving with a marketable <br />skill. She wasn't really interested and mentioned that it needed new heating and cooling <br />systems (like a new building wouldn't need those). She seemed rather distant and rather <br />cold. <br />Responded to Donna Whippo's phone inquiry on the Hickory Road Landmark; and that <br />vinyl siding and windows would not be an option. Read Krupali's article on the Taj <br />Mahal. <br />2 February Meeting with Tom and Alice of the Oliver Inn with Elicia about the <br />exterior of the House. After about two hours of discussion exploring the options <br />concerning grants, tax credits, etc. it was decided to have Tom conduct a paint work shop <br />at the Inn "a la Bob Yapp" on 14 April. Worked with Sue Solmos on an advertising <br />piece. Investigated 125 N. Lafayette (1907 Neoclassic 20th Century Motor Car Company) <br />for Building/Engineering inquiry. Spoke with Matt Gingerich about the landmark at <br />1603 Kemble. All the work he is now proposing will be restoration and repair -including <br />the windows. There will be re -pointing and some additional maintenance work. All <br />could be staff approved. Requested a meeting with our attorney to discuss landmarked <br />properties that are in disrepair. <br />2 <br />
