As part of The Green Building Process – from Concept to Completion series The Delaware Valley Green Building Council and AIA Delaware invite you to an evening seminar and tour on Greening History: The Greenest Building is the One Already Built!

Is it possible to repair or restore a historic property or site in an energy, water, and resource efficient manner while respecting its historical integrity? Older buildings may present special challenges but are a key ingredient to a green future. Two Delaware Valley case histories will be presented with a review of the current draft of the White Paper launched at the Greening of Historic Properties National Summit in Pittsburgh last fall.

Blue Ball Barn, a project of the Delaware Division of Parks & Recreation, serves as a visitor center and a multi-purpose community space for meetings, educational programs, special events and private rentals with indoor and outdoor options. Lead architect Joseph Healy of Wallace Roberts & Todd will present a description and tour of this LEED registered building.

Timothy Henkel, Vice President of Pennrose Properties will showcase Salem Homes, a green restoration of historical homes in Salem, NJ.
