Sustainable Conservation (1)
Ever since William Morris founded the Society for Protection of Buildings in 1877, architects and engineers have worked to conserve our built heritage where it is possible and feasible. Over time, conservation has become embedded in government policy and influences work done by bodies such as the National Trust and other specialist organisations including church bodies and preservation trusts. Archaeologists, ecologists and historians are also consulted in order to produce Conservation Plans.
What Must be Saved?… The decision to save a building is not always easy.

Energy Conservation
Energy conservation is one area where you can generate significant savings for the long-term. Any business and homeowner can invest in energy conservation that will provide better returns than safe investments like a bank account. For example, if you spent $5,000 on a conservation measure and it saved you $1,000 per year in operating costs you'll recover your money in 5 years. In the current economic situation people are looking for savings anywhere they can get them. Obviously, scale plays a large role because if you have more to save on your return is magnified.

Blue is the New Green: Water Conservation in a LEED Home, Part 1 Inside

The beauty of them is how you can use them to conserve energy and water by washing full loads that are small. When we talk utilities, energy tops the list of resources people are looking to save. That electric bill and oil or gas bill crosses the mailbox every month, but water is quarterly in Narragansett and in some towns might only come once per year.
