One of the most challenging issues

more energy efficient without damaging or compromising its historic
architecture and fabric.  Sally Zimmerman

mechanical upgrades and other energy retrofit opportunities in existing
homes.  She will give  common sense ways to make an old house more
energy efficient and tell about recent developments in weatherization at
Historic New England, which has made significant energy improvements to its
