The document discusses best practices for historic preservation and maintaining old windows in historic buildings. It recommends documenting existing conditions, numbering windows and parts for tracking repairs, and performing repairs like dutchmen, epoxy, and replacement in kind when necessary. Gentle and reversible methods should be used to preserve original materials. Hardware should also be preserved or replaced with like materials. Weather stripping can help maintain function while meeting energy efficiency goals. Historic preservation plays a key role in sustainable development.

Final arch presentation
The document discusses tax credits available for rehabilitating historic properties in Indiana. Properties must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places to qualify for a 20% tax credit for rehabilitation costs. The process involves submitting a historic preservation certification application with three parts: evaluation of significance, description of rehabilitation work, and request for certification of completed work. A case study describes the former Coca Cola Bottling Works building in Fort Wayne, which was eligible for the tax credit program due to its architectural significance as an example of an Art Deco style bottling plant.
NCL-CHC part 3 - workshop #1
The document provides steps for repairing wood windows in historic homes. It details replacing cord and weights, window stops, and suggests sample replacement window options from companies like Kolbe & Kolbe that can provide authentic reproductions. It also lists resources for more information on historic window preservation and repair.

The document discusses strategies for preserving the performance of historic buildings in a green manner. It focuses on three areas: 1) Energy performance metrics that show energy savings of 32-57% from pre-construction to post-construction for buildings that underwent retrofits. 2) Window strategies to improve insulation such as replacing windows, improving seals, and basement insulation. 3) Masonry restoration techniques such as slate roof repair, stucco replacement, and landscape improvements. The overall goal is to balance historic preservation with energy efficiency and low maintenance.Preserve Austin Window Lecture Jan 2013

Door Fenestration
This document describes different types of doors and their components. It discusses the main parts of panel doors like stiles, rails, mullions and panels. It also describes different door styles such as French doors, barn doors, and sliding glass doors. Additionally, it covers door mechanisms including hinged, sliding, and revolving doors. Various specialized door types and applications are mentioned as well such as trap doors, blast doors, and pet doors. Door construction and panel door components are outlined in detail.
Historic Windows
This document summarizes a presentation on retrofitting historic windows for energy savings rather than replacement. It discusses how window retrofits can achieve similar energy savings as new windows through options like weatherstripping, storm windows, insulating shades and films. A study found most retrofit options had better return on investment than full window replacement. The document outlines the components and repair processes for common wood and steel window types to maximize performance through maintenance and minor repairs. It emphasizes fixing other building envelope issues first before addressing windows to achieve the best energy savings.
NCL-CHC part 1, workshop #1
This document discusses repairing historic wood windows to maintain the integrity of historic homes. It recommends repairing deteriorated features rather than replacing them, and using matching designs, colors, textures and materials when replacement is necessary. Original doors, siding, windows and trim should be restored and maintained, while adding new elements like vinyl windows or changing designs can compromise a home's integrity. Evaluating whether repair is more cost effective than replacement and maintains integrity is important. Common wood window parts like the head, jambs, sill, trim and sashes are identified, along with tools needed for repair like hammers, prying tools and new sash cords.

NCL-CHC workshop #2
This document discusses roof and gutter repair for historic homes in Napa County. It recommends following the Secretary of the Interior Standards by repairing deteriorated historic features rather than replacing them whenever possible. Original wood shingle roofs should be restored using fire retardant treated shingles. Gutters should be restored to their original redwood "fascia gutters" or replaced with standard "Ogee gutters" to match the historic appearance. Proper roofing helps maintain the integrity of historic homes.
Historic Preservation: Victorian Queen Ann at Historic Burke Annual Meeting 2009
The document summarizes the rehabilitation of the Miller-Beyer House in Morganton, North Carolina from 2004-2009. It provides the history of ownership of the property back to 1906. The rehabilitation preserved the house according to national standards while making it accessible and adding a garage. Before photos show deterioration while after photos show the restored verandah, roof, chimneys, mantles and interior spaces. The house was celebrated at the wedding of Mary Katharine Beyer in 2006. The epilogue discusses the importance of preservation for the community and environment.
Architectural Terminology for Historic Era Residential Buildings in Fresno
This document provides architectural terminology for historic residential buildings in Fresno, California. It defines over 50 terms concisely with images. Some key terms defined include: balustrade, bay, bay window, brackets, casement windows, cladding, columns, cornice, dormer, eaves, elevation, façade, fenestration, gable roof, hip roof, quoins, and ribbon window. The definitions are intended to help identify character-defining features of historic homes.
Part 6 - Sunday and Weekday Envelopes
This document provides guidance on using the Sunday and Weekday Envelopes tab in the PAT 3 workbook. It allows the user to input regular givers' donation information, whether it is eligible for gift aid, and weekly giving amounts. The workbook then breaks this down into totals for gift aided and non-gift aided receipts, assisting the user with record keeping and potential claims under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. An example partial sheet is shown to demonstrate how the user can easily track their cursor position and add more lines using blue buttons if more are required.

Fenestration
This document discusses fenestration, which refers to the arrangement and design of windows in a building. It covers the fundamentals of fenestration including the need for windows and their impact on the environment. Factors that affect daylight performance like building orientation, window type and glass type are examined. Various window types like sash, casement, jalousie and their materials are described. Emerging glazing technologies like vacuum insulating glass and electrochromic glass are also outlined. Double-paned glass is discussed as providing improved thermal insulation. The document acknowledges professors and classmates who contributed to the writer's learning.
Historic Preservation Ppt
This document discusses the basics of preserving and insuring historic homes. It defines what makes a home historic, notes the special regulations and considerations for insuring such properties. Key recommendations include having an expert conduct an inspection and create a detailed report of the home's historic features to ensure proper insurance coverage; taking preventative maintenance measures to reduce risks of loss; and exploring options like higher deductibles or premium discounts to reduce insurance costs.
