Events Luncheon BriefingHigh-Performing Historic Buildings High-performance has become the latest buzzword to describe buildings. Everyone wants a high-performing building, but what does that mean with regard to historic structures? What are the sustainable characteristics and performance criteria of historic buildings? What are some of the strategies for improving the performance of historic buildings with new technologies and products? How does one prioritize the goals of preservation and environmental stewardship simultaneously to shape sustainable historic structures and communities? Where can I find examples of high performing historic buildings? Why is there a High-Performance Building Congressional Caucus? Should my Member join the Caucus? Find the answers to these questions and more at the latest in a series of briefings on high-performance buildings.
