CONFERENCE THEMES: Adapt, Improve, Measure and Manage
Adapt
The impacts of climate change threaten the world’s natural and built environments, especially
the world’s fragile heritage sites. Climate change will impact regions differently, from
desertification in Africa to increased El Nino events in the Pacific. The preservation
community needs to be engaged in identifying the impacts that climate change will have on
historic and cultural resources and how to develop mitigation and adaptation plans at the local
and regional level.
!
Climate Change in NYC: What Can We Expect, How Can Preservationists Plan for
It?
With 564 miles of shoreline, New York City is especially vulnerable to the impacts of
climate change. This panel will explain the variety of ways in which climate change will
impact New York City, how those impacts will affect historic resources and how
cultural resource management plans can address those impacts.
• Dr. Radley Horton, Associate Research Scientist at the Center for Climate Systems
Research at Columbia University
• Doug Adamo, Chief, Division of Natural Resources, National Park Service
World Heritage At Risk (keynote on Friday evening).
Rochelle Roca Hachem, Officer for Culture, UNESCO, will discuss how climate change
is threatening the world’s historic landmarks and living cultures and what steps
UNESCO and the international community are taking to raise awareness about adapting
to those impacts in order to safeguard these precious places.
!
Improve
Buildings play an important role in the fight against climate change. Nearly 77% of New York
City’s green house gas emissions are related to the construction and operation of buildings.
Improving the efficiency of all of New York City’s buildings is a primary goal in New York’s
sustainability plan, PlaNYC. Given that nearly 55% of New York City’s buildings were built
before 1940, improving the efficiency of old buildings is a major part of the solution.
Historically sensitive energy retrofits can be complex, but there are numerous examples of
historic buildings that are being improved without compromising their character.
Making it Work: Case Studies in High-Performance Preservation Retrofits
This panel discussion will bring together architects, engineers and construction
experts to show the energy opportunity in New York’s old buildings and how the
efficiency of older and historic buildings can be improved without compromising their
!
historic character.
• Stephen Apking, FAIA, Interior Design Partner, Skidmore Owings and Merrill
• Jean Carroon, Principal, Goody Clancy
• Jeremy R. M. Shannon, Principal Architect, Prospect Architecture
• Nathan Taft, Director of Acquisitions, Jonathan Rose Companies
• Judith Saltzman, Li/Saltzman Architects (moderator).
LEED and Beyond
While most people are familiar with LEED, there is an array of standards and financial
incentives that can help guide and encourage energy retrofits of existing buildings,
including the City’s Greener Greater Buildings Program. This panel and roundtable
discussion will explore the goals and outcomes of those programs how well they work
with historic building standards.
• Laurie Kerr, Senior Policy Advisor on Buildings and Energy, NYC Mayor's Office of
Long Term-Planning and Sustainability
• Richard Leigh, Director of Advocacy & Research, Urban Green Council
• Stephen Tilly, Principal, Stephen Tilly Architect (moderator).
• Jean Carroon, Principal, Goody Clancy (discussion)
!
Measure
The environmental benefits of retaining and improving historic and older buildings should be
an integral part of making New York City more sustainable, yet this crucial tenet of
preservation is underrepresented in most of the City’s plans and policies. In order to make the
case that improving and retaining old buildings is good for the environment, consistent data is
needed.
Just the Facts: Quantifying Energy Savings and Operating Costs
The purpose of the session is to provide advocates and city policy-makers with the
latest information on data associated with retaining and improving the efficiency of
older buildings and how such work can result in reduced operating costs and job
creation. What data do we have to show that improving and retaining old buildings is
good for the environment? What about the repair and reuse of building materials, like
windows?
• Patrice Frey, Director of Sustainability Research, National Trust for Historic
Preservation.
• Andy Padian, Vice President of Energy, Community Preservation Corporation
• Lindsay Robbins, Project Manager, NYSERDA
!
Manage
Elected officials, academic institutions, non-profit groups and policy-makers have created a
number of important plans, policies and financial incentives directed at reducing the city’s
Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. Most notably, PlaNYC — a comprehensive sustainability
framework for the City’s growth — has brought environmental issues to the forefront of urban
thinking. Infusing these plans with thoughtful preservation-oriented policies can help further
a holistic sustainability agenda.
Learning from Other Cities: How are Old and Historic Buildings Integrated in
Sustainability Plans?
A number of cities have developed sustainability plans that incorporate preservation
and focus on existing buildings. This lecture will share the best policy practices in other
cities and what New York City can learn from them.
• Adrian Fine, Director of Center for State and Local Policy at National Trust for
Historic Preservation.
• Randall Mason, Chair, Graduate Program in Historic Preservation and Associate
Professor of City & Regional Planning, University of Pennsylvania.
PlaNYC 2.0
PlaNYC is New York City’s comprehensive long-term sustainability plan, which
includes initiatives and goals aimed at improving the infrastructure, environment and
quality of life in the city. Local law requires that PlaNYC be updated every four years,
with the first update due on Earth Day 2011. David Bragdon will deliver the keynote
!
address about the future of the plan, likely revisions and new areas that may be added.
• David Bragdon, Director, City of New York, Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning
and Sustainability.

MAS Campaign for Preservation and Climate Change in New York
The Municipal Art Society has launched a campaign to promote the positive environmental benefits of
preserving and improving the efficiency of New York’s older and historic buildings. The campaign is
supported by funding from the New York Community Trust, the National Endowment for the Arts, the
J.M. Kaplan Fund and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
This spring, MAS hosted eight roundtable discussions with an interdisciplinary group of experts. The
purpose of the roundtables was to find common ground between the goals of historic preservation,
urban sustainability, green building and climate change policies. Topics included green building and
historic preservation standards, demolition and waste stream, preservation and green jobs and
preservation and sustainable growth, among others. MAS will write and publicize a research white
paper based on the ideas generated in those discussions and the Conference on Preservation and
Climate Change in New York City. The paper will be released in winter 2010.
