Exemption for historic buildings has long been at the core of preservationists’ approach to energy codes. However, recent policy developments suggest that this position is no longer tenable. This presentation examines the key challenges and opportunities presented by an era of increasingly ambitious energy policy and narrowing exemptions for historic buildings. First, the treatment of historic buildings in recent energy policies is reviewed, with particular emphasis on developments at the state and municipal level. Then, the challenges brought forth by these new policies are identified. Finally, the presentation concludes with a discussion of opportunities for leveraging these new policies towards a more proactive approach to energy efficiency in historic buildings.
