This collection of ten case studies addresses the issues surrounding the improvement of energy consumption and thermal comfort in modern buildings built between 1928 and 1969 and offers valuable lessons for other structures facing similar issues. These buildings, international in scope and diverse in type, style, and size, range from the Shulman House, a small residence in Los Angeles, to the TD Bank Tower, a skyscraper complex in Toronto, and from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, a cultural venue in Lisbon, to the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, now an office building. Showing ingenuity and sensitivity, the case studies consider improvements to such systems as heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and controls. They provide examples that demonstrate best practices in conservation and show ways to reduce carbon footprints, minimize impacts to historic materials and features, and introduce renewable energy sources, in compliance with energy codes and green-building rating systems.
The Conserving Modern Heritage series, launched in 2019, is written by architects, engineers, conservators, scholars, and allied professionals. The books in this series provide well-vetted case studies that address the challenges of conserving twentieth-century heritage.

Shipping terms
Orders usually posted within 2 business days. All books are sent in bubble wrap within a secure cardboard mailer. The weight indicated on some listings is the estimated packed weight rounded up for postal purposes.
For orders within the United Kingdom most items will be posted by Royal Mail Tracked; with more expensive items Tracked and Signed. The tracking number will be updated on the AbeBooks order system. I will not generally contact you for extra postage, unless noted in listing.
Overseas orders are sent by Airmail, 'International Tracked'. I will notify you the tracking number by email; which can then be used to control your delivery with your local deliverer. If the shipment is heavier than average, I may contact you for extra postage, but this is very unusual.
Because of recent packaging regulations I cannot at the moment accept orders from the European Union. My apologies.
