The NPS has created a new website on Sustainability, Energy Efficiency, Resilience, and Historic Buildings. 

The NPS has been providing guidance and technical preservation information on these issues in relation to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties for decades since producing one of its first Preservation Briefs on the subject of energy efficiency in 1978.

Current NPS guidance and information are collected and presented in a new webpage for easy access to further explore these topics.


New Guidance on Resilience to Natural Hazards and Historic Buildings

New guidance on resilience to natural hazards has been issued. It is adapted from the “Resilience to Natural Hazards” section in The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (2017) and from The Guidelines on Flood Adaptation for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (2021).
