Green Restorations

Green Restorations, by Aaron Lubeck, shows how to properly restore and remodel an older or historic home to be greener, healthier, and energy-efficient. It gives practical room-by-room restoration descriptions with specific solutions for challenges ranging from windows to crawl spaces, to electrical systems and heating. Green Restorations answers restoration questions such as:

• Is sealing my old crawl space a good idea?
• Should I replace or rehabilitate my windows?
• What are the cultural, environmental, and financial implications of my proposed changes?

This book is written to be both accessible to homeowners and technical enough for contractors looking to "green" yet preserve a home's historic and cultural significance. 304 pages.

 

Aaron Lubeck is a partner with Trinity Design/Build, a restoration and preservation consultancy in North Carolina that has won numerous preservation awards. He is a member of the United States Green Building Council and has completed the first historic building to be LEED-certified in North Carolina.
