Questions and topics to be addressed in this session include: Are there exemplary historic rehabilitation projects that incorporate green design principles? Are there exemplary development projects that incorporate historic preservation? Should there be an even greater sustainability incentive to reuse historic buildings? How does one calculate the increased worth that an historic building, district or archaeological site brings to a community? Is the greenest building one that is already standing?
