C27 Historic Tax Credits: The Nuts and Bolts of Syndication
(open to all registered attendees; pre-selection required.)
Introductory to Advanced
Sponsored by:
Speakers: Andrew S. Potts, Partner, Nixon Peabody, LLP, and
David F. Schon, Partner: Nixon Peabody, LLP
Rehabbing older and historic buildings can entitle the owner to valuable federal and state historic tax credits. Complying with the rules necessary to earn these credits is one thing. Turning the credits into a cash financing source is yet another. This session covers the nuts and bolts of “syndication”-bringing in another party to take the credits in exchange for cash investment. We will explore when it makes sense for an owner to syndicate (and when it doesn’t), how to find and choose tax credit investors, and what you can expect from the syndication process.
- When an owner should try to syndicate their historic tax credits versus claiming credits themselves.
- How to find investors, solicit investment proposals and pick the best offer.
- Keys to successfully negotiating and closing a tax credit investment.
2:00 pm -3:30 pm

B12 Small Duct, High Velocity Heating And Cooling:
An Alternative Comfort Solution
Intermediate 1 AIA HSW CEU
Speakers: Ted Brown, National Training Manager And Shawn Intagliata, Dir. Of Business Development, Unico, Inc.,St. Louis, Mo
In various circumstances, primarily those that present architectural challenges due to space constraints, an alternative to conventional forced air heating and cooling systems which require large, inflexible ductwork systems for air delivery and circulation does exist. In use for some time, they are referred to by the Department of Energy as small duct, high velocity HVAC systems. The ductwork is small and flexible and due to the air mixing method of matching preflow can actually deliver a more uniform temperature throughout a space. In addition, small delivery outlets make the interior aesthetics significantly more pleasing.

C12 Expanding Monumental Historic Buildings
Intermediate to Advanced 1 AIA HSW CEU
Sponsored by:
Speaker: Robert D. Loversidge, Jr., FAIA, President and CEO, Schooley Caldwell Associates, Columbus, OH
Fact: the United States Capitol building is the most recognized building in the world. It is also the design product of additions – lots of additions. Old buildings often suffer as a result of increasing space needs-especially government buildings, which are often iconic landmarks as well as active, working structures-from the needs of contemporary systems and technologies. Preservationists often shy away from additions, but there are several effective and respectful ways to add on to monumental buildings. Participants are encouraged to bring a photo of buildings they are interested in discussing.
- Identify three to five methods of adding space to monumental buildings.
- Discuss the aesthetics of addition design.
- Learn about the sensitive integration of contemporary systems into historic buildings.
- Understand that consensus-building and public participation are critical to a project’s success.
