  Maintaining and preserving the building stock helps preserve our natural environment through reduction of waste, resource and energy use.





Go Green


Today, more people are incorporating “green” strategies in preserving and rehabilitating heritage buildings. Use of solar and thermal energy, retrofitting existing window frames with insulated glazing and other innovative technologies are giving older buildings a new lease on life.

What Can You Do?


  • •  Heritage organizations can search for other examples of green heritage restoration projects and share them with elected officials, especially municipal councillors and mayors.


  • •  Building owners and managers can prepare a list of ideas for “greening” older buildings.
