IMPORTANT: This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders. Other applicants need not apply.
Historic buildings represent a significant portion of the building stock in New England and indeed of the US as a whole. As a result, improving the energy performance of these structures is an important piece of the global warming solutions puzzle. Yet owners of old and historic buildings are often faced with a unique set of challenges that can make retrofits or energy system improvements a threat to the integrity—historic or even structural—of their properties. Clean Air-Cool Planet is working on ways to begin addressing this problem. Our newly released “Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and Historic Preservation: A Guide for Historic District Commissions”—a product of two 2009 CA-CP Climate Fellowships—has facilitated the beginnings of a dialogue between the preservationist and green building communities; the 2010 Historic Building Fellow will have the opportunity to carry this work forward in new and important ways. Using the guide as a starting point, the Fellow will work with CA-CP staff and with experts at a range of CA-CP partner organizations to create outreach materials and campaigns designed for a wide range of stakeholders. |
