Use It or Lose It
Performance is a critical factor in the decision to preserve a building. A building that performs well in terms of energy consumption, thermal comfort, maintenance requirements, and weather resistance presents a good economic argument for preservation. We believe that a historic building can maintain its historic integrity while being optimized to include traits found in today’s high performance green building.
If not properly conceived and installed, retrofitted insulation and air conditioning can quickly deteriorate a historic building’s walls, roofs, structural components, finishes, and even furnishings. Our experts approach the unique circumstances of each historic building with a scientific and predictive mindset--we weigh the consequences of our actions before we take them.
As leaders in the preservation community, Apollo BBC professionals are passionate about preserving the historical character of buildings. We are uniquely suited to confront challenges that preservation and adaptive reuse present.
Apollo BBC’s scientific, field-based knowledge of diverse building systems is a powerful asset to a historic building project. A robust understanding of materials, archaic construction, and mechanical HVAC systems is required to effectively resolve many of the failures that plague historic buildings.
Our focus is to join your team, understand your needs, and make a difference - not to produce a stack of papers. We pride ourselves on our ability to communicate our findings to a variety of audiences.
