Sneak Peak of Leveraging Historic Buildings for Climate Action
Time: Wednesday, December 8th, 12:30 PM
We will focus on retrofits of existing buildings as the best solution to pursue climate action and justice in a timely, cost-effective manner. The program will consist of presentations from three industry experts, followed by a Q&A session facilitated by Steve Krug.
Lori Ferriss, Director of Sustainability and Climate Action at Goody Clancy, will introduce the realities of climate change. Afterwards, she will explain using existing buildings is the best way to address climate change. Then, Architect Channing Swanson will present a case study of Market One, an adaptive reuse and renewable energy project in Des Moines, Iowa. The project tells a story about the role historic buildings play in joining urban revitalization and sustainable principles. Finally, our very own, Michael Ingui will describe Baxt Ingui Architect’s repeatable approach to historic masonry Passive House retrofits. Broad sharing of best details and methods will help Passive House spread to other masonry-heavy cities.
