With global climate change upon us, we are challenged to find a way of living that will ensure the longevity and health of our environmental, economic, and social resources. Since buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of carbon dioxide emissions each year, considerable focus has been placed on the construction of new green buildings. Discussion about the importance of improving and re-using our existing building stock – and especially our historic buildings – is largely absent from the conversations about climate change.
