[MassHistPres] Resilience and Window Attachments at BuildingEnergy 2012

[Carroon, Jean]

See Window Attachment session below.  Resilience also speaks to historic buildings since it supports passive responsiveness in buildings and walkable communities.

Going to BuildingEnergy this year? There are a lot of exciting sessions to choose from.

Alex Wilson, a naturalist as well as a green building expert, knows a thing or two about being prepared.

Interdisciplinary, cutting-edge, and combining high-flown philosophical ideas with practical nuts-and-bolts advice, the BuildingEnergy Conference in Boston<http://www.nesea.org/be12/> is not only close to home but also close to our hearts. Every year, we look forward to meeting with old friends and hearing a lot of new ideas. This year, the conference is slated for March 6 & 7, and we'll be presenting some new ideas of our own.

If you're going, don't forget to stop by our booth--#656--and say hi!

Building Resilience for Climate Risks

BuildingGreen founder and executive editor Alex Wilson will be giving a talk on resilience at 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 7<http://www.nesea.org/be12/trackdetail/#2248t5976>. As in his blog series on the topic<http://www.buildinggreen.com/live/index.cfm/2012/2/7/Resilient-Communities> and in an upcoming feature article, Alex will address a lot of interrelated issues in this session, including synergies between sustainable design and resilient design as well as the urgency of changing the way we build now. The session also looks beyond buildings to discuss land-use planning and local food systems. It's a hot, emerging topic, and we hope you'll be able to attend to hear the latest on this important issue.

Making Existing Windows Work Better

At 4 p.m. that same day, Peter Yost, our director of residential programs, will be sharing the latest results from research BuildingGreen is participating in with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory<http://www.nesea.org/be12/trackdetail/#2229t5973>. Peter will take an objective, evidence-based look at which window attachments (a.k.a. window treatments) are proven to offer the highest energy performance in the lab and in the field. This research can help you help clients make informed decisions about existing windows. Making windows work better<http://www.buildinggreen.com/auth/article.cfm/2011/6/1/Making-Windows-Work-Better/> doesn't have to be expensive and doesn't have to mean replacement.
