[MassHistPres] Solar panels in a local historic district

[Wolf, Emily]

Clean Air Cool Planet recently published Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy and Historic Preservation: A Guide for Historic District Commissions, which discusses solar thermal and photovoltaic systems with historic commissions/preservation commissions in mind.  The guide also includes Sustainable Preservation: An Addendum to Building with Nantucket in Mind, which further discusses the use of solar technologies in historic districts.

The guide is available at http://www.cleanair-coolplanet.org/for_communities/HDCGuide.pdf.

Best,
Emily

Subject: [MassHistPres] Solar panels in a local historic district

Have any LHDs written regulations concerning placement of solar panels in a local historic district?

Have any LHDs allowed solar panels in a LHD?

Any other comments that you might think relevant for an LHD to consider would be much appreciated.
