Purpose

The Preservation Green Lab, of The National Trust for Historic Preservation, is developing case studies of high-performance historic buildings.  Showcasing unique buildings that successfully blend historic preservation and measured energy performance, these case studies will provide inspiring stories and best practices, including detailed information about project financing, energy performance, and historic preservation approaches.

There are nine sections to this survey.  After you complete a section, you can navigate to the next section by clicking the 'next' button at the bottom of the page.  If you need to come back to your responses at a later date, keep clicking 'next' to navigate to the end of the survey and click the submit button to save your progress.  You will then receive an e-mail with a link to access your submission at a later time.

Energy Performance Data Requirement

Important: To qualify as a deep energy retrofit, the retrofit must achieve energy reductions of 30% or greater. You must quantify performance by submitting energy performance data or energy modeling results.  If data is not yet available, please provide a modeling report, and provide actual energy performance data within one year of completion of work

*We are collecting this data so that we have a way to follow-up on your case study submission.  This data will be not be shared with other parties, except if you agree  to having it published as part of the case study.

If building was constructed in phases, please list additional major construction completion dates (up to 3)

To upload multiple images, simply click the "Upload a File" button again., or while pressing down the ctrl key, use your mouse to select multiple files in the file browser.

Based on the map below, select the climate zone and climate category the building is located in:

What companies does this building use for the following utilities?

Green building certification(s)

Describe the physical interventions for the following building systems

Providing images and photographs will help bring this case study to life.  The following are some ideas of what might be good images for submission:

• Historic photo of the building
• A visible facade of the building's exterior (frontal and oblique views)
• Primary spaces in the building's interior
• Details of historic architectural elements, both interior and exterior
• The subject property in the context of its immediate neighborhood

Each file should include a description in its filename (frontfacade.jpg, interior.jpg, etc.), and should be as high a resolution as possible.

To upload multiple images, simply click the "Upload a File" button again., or use your mouse to select multiple files in the file browser.

Please enter any relevant web sources (websites, news articles, etc.) for the building.

After you submit this survey, you will receive an email with a summary of your responses, and a link to access and modify your responses at a later date.  If you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact the Preservation Green Lab at greenpreservation@savingplaces.org or at 206.324.0397.
