“The Greenest Building…Is one that is already built."
Carl Elefante, Principal, Quinn Evans Architects, AIA, LEED AP
“Rehabilitating a heritage building conserves more energy than constructing a new building and reduces construction and demolition wastes.” Government of Canada Heritage Conservation Brief
Heritage buildings are also a key component in the livability of our city. The conservation of heritage buildings makes a major contribution to environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Come to the Heritage Society of BC booth at the Green Living Show, where we will be able to tell you more about the connection between heritage and Sustainability.
