Includes case studies, resources, workshops, and Portland green preservation home tours. The general info is a great introduction, and the personalized information for Portland residents (who to contact at what city department, how Portland zoning code relates, etc.) seems really helpful for anyone planning a project - it would be great to see similar pages offered by other cities.

Historic preservation and sustainable design are two disciplines that no longer need to be at odds but can actually join together to improve the sustainability of buildings, argued Maria Casarella, an architect with Cunningham | Quill Architects, Brendan Owens, Vice President of LEED Technical Development, and Eleni Reed, chief greening officer at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). These experts explored all angles of the raging ‘historic preservation vs. sustainable design’ debate during a lecture at the National Building Museum (NBM).
