Buildings account for nearly 40% of all U.S. energy use and carbon
emissions. With one of the country's leading preservation architects as
your guide, the lecture will explore the power of adaptive reuse to
reduce those numbers and move us toward sustainability. Sustainable
Preservation makes a compelling argument that preservation and
sustainability don't just protect the environment, but deliver a full
range of societal benefits, from job creation to stronger social
connection. 

Jean Carroon, FAIA, LEED(r) AP, is a principal in Goody Clancy's highly
regarded preservation practice, based in Boston. She has earned national
recognition for her expertise in applying sustainable-design technology
to historic buildings, including more than a dozen National Historic
Landmarks. She has directed the adaptive reuse and preservation of
signature buildings in a broad range of sectors, including educational,
civic and cultural projects for clients such as Harvard University and
the National Park Service. She is currently working on the renovation of
more than 50 historic structures on the St. Elizabeth's West Campus in
Washington, which will become the home of the Department of Homeland
Security.
