Yikes! When an article begins, How do you make a Brooklyn - TopicsExpress



          

Yikes! When an article begins, How do you make a Brooklyn brownstone more sustainable? First, get rid of the brownstone... it is a pretty sure sign that it will not be a good example for preservation. In this article, a historic rowhouse was gutted and the exterior walls encapsulated in new materials - apparently no historic fabric (except perhaps some floor joists that would never have been exposed) remain visible. Although the article is disappointing in that it perpetuates the myth that historic buildings must be radically altered to be green or sustainable, the comments from readers have already pointed out many of the issues.
