Abstract
Owners of historic buildings are often faced with making decisions regarding the retrofit of their building without having all of the information necessary to make informed choices concerning what is appropriate for their particular project. Thus, the purpose of this guidebook is to provide a framework for building owners to follow when weighing the potential benefits and tradeoffs between increasing energy efficiency and maintaining the historic integrity of their building. Additionally, the guidebook will aid the building owner in understanding the wide range of methods that are possible in order to significantly reduce the building 's energy use while working within the values of historic integrity set by the project.
