When we think of green building, we tend to picture new construction. But Robert A. Young argues that the greenest building is often the one that has already been built. In Stewardship of the Built Environment, he shows how retrofitting existing structures holds untapped potential for achieving sustainable communities.
Stewardship of the Built Environment explores the social, environmental, and economic benefits of reuse-from the societal value of reusing existing buildings to financial incentives available for refurbishment. Readers will become familiar with essential terminology; sustainability and historic preservation metrics; government oversight processes; and opportunities for smart growth afforded by rehabilitation. This knowledge is key to preserving the past while building a sustainable future.
Robert Young teaches architecture at the University of Utah and is co-director of the Mountain West Planning and Design Academy, and author of Historic Preservation Technology (Wiley 2008). He has worked in the sustainable design and historic preservation fields for 30 years and been professionally active on numerous review boards and commissions. He has taught historic preservation courses and environmental controls/sustainability courses for the past 17 years.
