[MassHistPres] Energy Costs of Demolition

[Judy Markland]

One source of some good information is the National Trust's green issue of 
Preservation Magazine for Jan/Feb 
2008.  http://www.preservationnation.org/magazine/2008/january-february/ 
The print version features a lot of facts in sidebars that don't make it 
into the text.
