The DuPage County Courthouse in downtown Wheaton, Illinois was built in 1893 and is on the National Register. The State’s Attorneys’ Building was built in the 1920’s. They were vacant when acquired in 2003 by a local developer. The 4 ½ story masonry Courthouse was restored and reused as six luxury condominiums and the State Attorneys’ Building was rehabbed as a clubhouse for the condo association. Additional buildings will complete this planned unit development. P08 Using Historic Tax Credits for Micro Residential Development Introductory to Advanced
Rehabilitation tax credits are a large incentive to any homeowner but are often misunderstood. This session will discuss residential tax credits using a case study that aims to “stack” significant historic tax credit with renewable energy credits (qualifying solar panels on an historic rehabilitation). P15 Private Frontage Secrets Introductory to Advanced
Rehabilitation tax credits are a large incentive to any homeowner but are often misunderstood. This session will discuss residential tax credits using a case study that aims to “stack” significant historic tax credit with renewable energy credits (qualifying solar panels on an historic rehabilitation).
1:15 pm – 2:15/2:45 pm Seminars P09 Adaptive Use: Transforming Historic Buildings for New Uses Introductory 1 AIA HSW CEU
Using three case studies, the panel will discuss the adaptive use of obsolete and underutilized historic buildings. The case studies include: the Inn on Ferry Street, a conversion of four late 19th century houses and two carriage barns to create a 42 room boutique hotel; Armory Arts Lofts, a conversion of a 19th century prison and armory to create an arts centered housing community with studios and galleries; and the Ottawa Street Power Station, a conversion of an early 20th century power station to create a state-of-the-art LEED certified national headquarters for a major insurance company. P10 Beyond Tax Credits: Creative Economic Incentives and Financing for Rehabilitating Historic Properties Intermediate
Beginning with an overview of various public economic incentives, such as Historic Tax Credits, Tax Freeze, Class”L,” Preservation Easements, and then discussing ways to privately finance historic rehabilitation, such as Accelerated Depreciation, Cost Segregation, Private Financing, Syndicating Tax Credits, and even Public Financing, this presentation will enable you to fully evaluate the many ways to fund your projects. 3:00 pm -4:00 pm Seminars P11 Thinking like a Developer: A Crash Course for Preservationists Introductory to Intermediate
Today’s difficult financing environment has challenged real estate developers to seek alternative sources of equity, including historic rehabilitation tax incentives. Using case studies, this session will provide an overview and understanding of how developers assess a project’s potential, develop a pro forma, and undertake a historic tax credit deal. You will learn the basics of structuring a historic tax credit deal and how you can turn the tax credits into equity for a project in your community. 4:00 pm -5:00 pm P12 The Future of the Past: A Conservation Ethic for Architecture, Urbanism, and Historic Preservation Intermediate 1 AIA HSW CEU
Steven Semes’ recently published book calls for a new alliance between preservation and new traditional architecture. He argues that new buildings should pay deference to and respect their surroundings to create harmonious compositions. New traditional architecture and New Urbanism prompt a critical re-evaluation of current policies in preservation and conservation, particularly in connection with new construction in historic settings.

Friday, October 22, 2010: 3:00 pm -4:00 pm Seminars R02 Green Home Rating Systems Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
Green building ratings systems have been developed to guide and inform owners, architects, and builders in the environmental impacts of construction. For home owners there are now several dozen different green home-rating systems in North America and Europe, most apply to new construction. These systems rarely identify historic resources or promote building re-use. This presentation will compare several home-rating systems and identify some of the means and methods most important to historic preservation.
Saturday, October 23, 2010: 10:00 am – 11:00 am Seminars R03 Independence Park Bungalow: Planning Old and Green Introductory to Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
The Independence Park Bungalow Project was built in the early 1920’s and is a significant structure listed on the National Register. It operated as a public facility for weaving, crafts, and a place for women’s group meetings. The project upgraded the facility to meet the City of Chicago’s energy code and ADA requirements and served as a demonstration house for neighboring homeowners. Lessons learned will be discussed in terms of synergies and capital cost versus return on investment. 1:00 pm – 2:00/2:30 pm Seminars R04 Green Restorations: Sustainable Building in Historic Homes Introductory to Intermediate to Advanced 1.5 AIA HSW/SD CEUs
Note: Green Restorations: Sustainable Building in Historic Homes, Chapter 3 is recommended advance reading. The preservation world has only recently begun to fully articulate its commitment to green retrofitting principles. Two great American conservation movements, preservation and environmentalism, are converging. This talk focuses on three unsettled debates: envelope tightening strategies, solar system placement and compatibility, and ethical questions surrounding intrusive gut jobs. A review of current conventional wisdom as well as suggested changes to historic housing and restoration practice and policy will be included.
Thursday, October 21, 2010: 9:00 am -10:00/10:30/11:00 am S01 Legal Issues: When Preservation Goes Green Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
In the rush to “green” all construction, climate change advocates may be creating serious conflict between established historic rehabilitation standards and relatively new high energy efficient construction requirements. A conflict can arise during historic rehabilitation where greater regard is given to either the Secretary of the Interiors for Rehabilitation or energy efficient requirements, and, when doing so causes development economic incentives to be lost and possibly both local historic, and state and local energy efficiency codes to be violated. Gain an understanding of how to avoid legal pitfalls when rehabilitating historic properties that are subject to both preservation guidelines and energy efficiency guidelines. S02 Sustainable Restoration: A Lighting Case Study Introductory to Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
This presentation will focus on the lighting upgrade of the First United Methodist Church in the Chicago Temple. The existing fixtures, a defining element of this 1927 church, were retrofitted for energy efficiency, separately circuited with a central lighting control to create worship scenes, and integrated into a new audio-visual system. 10:30 am – 11:30 am/ Noon Seminars S03 Traditional Sustainable Construction 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU Intermediate
Since 1977 the new traditional architecture movement has found its feet and new buildings of varying styles have been designed and built. Using projects in process and completed projects by HDB/Cram and Ferguson, Inc., this presentation will address the ways that sustainability can be achieved in traditional architecture. S14 Lovable Buildings (1.5 hrs.) 1:30 pm – 2:30/3:00 pm Seminars S04 Transforming the Past to Preserve the Future Advanced 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
Projects that integrate sustainable design, adaptive use, historic preservation and neighborhood revitalization are technically challenging and difficult; when successfully executed, they have a powerful effect that extends well beyond the confines of a site. Neighborhoods integrating diverse uses and preserving the complex layering of architecture found in historic communities have a depth and vitality that cannot be replicated with new development. This session will present the evolution of key concepts that have led to a new generation of projects that have successfully integrated adaptive use and sustainable design with an emphasis on those that have established vibrant mixed-use neighborhoods through the development of individual properties. S05 Play By Play: Greening Your Rehabilitation Project Intermediate 1.5 AIA HSW/SD CEUs
Join experts from the National Park Service to examine how the principles of sustainability can be incorporated into a renovation project while meeting the Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation. Going step by step through the principles of sustainability, this session will explore both common sense and innovative solutions to energy-related problems in historic buildings. Participants will benefit from lessons learned by projects that have successfully navigated the federal tax credit program and various green certification programs. S06 Building Integrated Photovoltaics: Preserving our Future while Maintaining Tradition Introductory to Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
This presentation will deliver an understanding of state-of-the-art photovoltaic technology and products. You will learn essential specification considerations when evaluating photovoltaic systems for new construction and renovation projects. Federal and state government support incentives will also be reviewed. S13 Sustainability and Sanctity: Three Centuries of Sacred Places by Upjohn, Belluschi, and Stern Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
This presentation will address how to preserve sacred places, design historically inspired new spaces, and incorporate sustainable elements in both new and built environments. Spanning three centuries and showcasing three luminaries, we will chronicle the recent award-winning restoration of the Church of St. Gregory the Great, a Modernist chapel designed by Pietro Belluschi, the new construction of Our Lady of Mercy Chapel, a Shingle Style chapel designed by Robert A. M. Stern, and the design of St. Mary’s Parish Center, a modern facility compatible with the neighboring 19th century church designed by Richard Upjohn.
Friday, October 22, 2010: 8:00 am -9:30 am Seminars S07 Methods for Assessing and Improving Energy Performance for Historic Buildings Intermediate 1.5 AIA HSW/SD CEUs
Historic buildings are often thought to be “energy hogs” with drafty windows and leaky walls that ooze energy dollars from every pore. However, the truth is that many historic buildings have sustainable attributes, including large windows for day lighting, natural ventilation systems, high ceilings to dissipate summer heat, and incorporation of local materials. You will learn how to analyze the energy efficiency of historic buildings and techniques for improvement. 1:15 pm – 2:15/2:45 pm Seminars S08 Thermal Microclimates: Comfort and Climate Response in Traditional American Houses Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
We will systematically examine and compare the interior living environments, specifically in regards to thermal comfort, of several traditional houses from several distinct climate zones. Using software to model building envelope, energy performance, daylighting, and internal comfort constituents, we will offer a detail-laden, experiential description of thermal microclimates within the subject houses. We ask, “How, with modern tools, can we preserve an understanding of traditional buildings’ inherently energy efficient character?” 4:00 pm -5:00 pm S09 Evaluating Windows: Restore, Replace or Add Storms? Introductory to Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
This presentation will highlight a study performed for the Illinois Capital Development Board that ascertained the capital, operational and maintenance costs of decisions regarding historic windows. Three options were assessed: to restore, to replace, or to add storms. These options were reviewed by looking at as many criteria as could be measured: historic material retention, embodied energy, landfill diversion, energy costs and maintenance costs. The building is eligible for the National Register and is being rehabilitated to meet a LEED Gold Level. S10 Codes, Credits, and LEED – A Case Study Intermediate 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
This presentation is focused on three phases of sustained effort for the rehabilitation of the nationally significant Old Naval Hospital (c.1865): the rehabilitation design of the two historic buildings and site, including the ornamental fence, utilized performance-based code compliance to provide a universally accessible community center that targets LEED silver certification. Innovative technologies include 3D laser scanning and geo-thermal heat pumps. Funding for the project came from historic rehabilitation tax credits, Save America’s Treasures, and energy efficient incentives. Challenges to be discussed include federal ownership, non-profit long-term leaseholder, and associated complexities for funding, approvals, maintenance and life-cycle cost considerations.
Saturday, October 23, 2010: 8:30 am -9:30/10:00 am Seminars S11 Insulating Old Houses: A Greener Approach to Energy Savings Intermediate 1 AIA HSW CEU
Insulation is like chocolate; the more you have the better. 10:00 am – 11:00 am Seminars S12 Inherently Sustainable Design: Traditional Design Introductory 1 AIA HSW/SD CEU
Most inherently sustainable building designs have been sensible, practical responses to basic environmental conditions such as climate, wind, terrain, and readily available natural resources. Vernacular buildings are regional responses to making shelter in a specific environment using readily available local resources and are, generally speaking, “smarter” with regard to sustainability. Using five examples that span from upper New York State to the Caribbean, a common thread of a sustainable approach as reflected in the appropriate response to setting will be revealed. 1:00 pm – 2:00/2:30 pm Seminars S15 Living Traditions (1.5 hrs) Intermediate – Advanced 1.5 AIA HSW/SD CEUs SPEAKER: Stephen Mouzon; AIA, LEED AP, and CNU; President, Mouzon Design, and Founder, New Urban Guild, Miami, FL
Originally (before the Thermostat Age) people had no choice but to build green, otherwise people would not survive very long. Living traditions were the operating systems of this original sustainability, aggregating and distributing the wisdom of sustainability broadly across an entire culture. Today, many architects equate "tradition" with "history," but there's about as much similarity between a living tradition and an historical tradition as there is between a living creature and a fossil. One has life, while the other does not. Our ancestors participated in vibrant living traditions, whereas building in a traditional manner today is often thought of as "following a book of rules." This session looks at the advantages of living traditions, from sustainability to affordability, and explores how designers, builders, neighborhoods, and municipalities can foster Living Traditions, which engage the citizens to achieve real sustainability. It also looks at specific initiatives that can be advanced both at the scale of the municipality and the scale of the neighborhood. Some of these may be surprising, because it's been so long since most of our communities have participated in living traditions that we've forgotten how they work.
Thursday, October 21, 2010: 9:00 am -10:00/10:30/11:00 am T01 Masonry and Moisture Problems: Causes and Solutions Introductory to Intermediate 2 AIA HSW CEUs
This workshop will demonstrate the more common moisture problems in masonry.

The question of whether to rehabilitate/restore historic windows or replace them with contemporary material windows is debated with great vigor and emotion throughout the historic preservation community. We will explore the debate and place it within the context of the Secretary of Interior’s Standards. A recent initiative by the Michigan Historic Preservation Network and the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office to train craftsmen to preserve historic windows while making them energy efficient and preserving their character and beauty will be presented.
Friday, October 22, 2010: 8:00 am -9:30 am Seminars T04 Restoring Historic Doors and Hardware Intermediate 1.5 AIA HSW CEUs
This session will provide a general overview of historic doors and hardware commonly found in the Midwest from ca. 1870 through the 1930’s. Residential and commercial doors will be included, although the primary focus will be on wood doors. Case studies will be shown of a variety of historic door problems on traditional buildings and the methods used to restore them. T05 Ceramic Tile Replication – When, Why, and How Introductory 1 AIA HSW CEU
There are many situations where it may be desirable to replicate tile in both residential and commercial settings. This session will outline the replication process and identify resources that will aid in determining whether it is feasible to successfully match existing ceramic tile for a project. T06 Natural Stone – Selection and Fabrication Intermediate 1 AIA HSW CEU
The process of selecting and fabricating natural stone for restoration is complex. This session will include the selection and matching process for stone supply, followed by site measuring techniques, templating and drawing requirements. Included will be a virtual tour of a fabrication plant to see the high-tech machinery used to cut, turn, and profile stone. You will also see traditional hand-cut methods used by skilled cutters, carvers and sculptors to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
Saturday, October 23, 2010: 8:30 am -9:30/10:00 am Seminars T07 Interpreting Wright’s Interior Finishes Introductory 1 AIA HSW CEU
Using the Glasner House (Glencoe, IL) and the Davenport House (River Forest, IL) as case studies, this presentation will look at how Wright’s interiors and finishes are examined and interpreted. The procedures used during research will be explained, including site investigations, paint microscopy, and laboratory analysis. T08 Understanding American Heritage Tile Work Introductory to Intermediate 1 AIA HSW CEU
Almost 100 years ago, traditional American tile work converged into a single, common standard. Adopted by thirteen of America’s most prominent tile manufacturers, the Handbook of Glazed Tiles and Trimmers was the standard for American tile production through the pre-war era. This common standard has made historically authentic reproductions possible. Two case studies illustrating period tile restoration and interactive 3D CAD renderings will detail the precise system of tile work used in vintage installations and ways to adapt conventional installation methods to anachronistic tile forms. T09 Traditional Elements of Modern Stone Design Introductory 1.5 AIA HSW CEU
Whether a design was inspired by economic realities, a practical response to the environment, or grand classical taste, stone lends visual credibility to buildings. We will explore the design elements of each period, the dressing and installation of stone, and how it complements architectural style. 10:00 am – 11:00 am Seminars T10 Finishing Ornamental Metals Introductory to Intermediate 1 AIA HSW CEU
You will learn the fundamentals of good finishing for ornamental metalwork beginning with some design basics and then working through the most common steps, processes and products that the ornamental metal trade uses.
