Sarah McMillian believes historical buildings hold vast amounts of valuable cultural currency. They tell a story not only of the people that built the building but also of the community in which they lived and what they valued. And so preserving historical buildings, in her view, is valuable to our culture and our community. Additionally, and equally important, preserving buildings is more sustainable than building new and has a positive environmental impact. New construction requires quite a bit of fossil fuel energy and releases a great amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
In this conversation, Sarah and Blake discuss:
The importance of interoperability not only in historical buildings but also in new buildings.
Practical and economic ways Real Estate Professionals can connect their historical buildings and create interoperability.
Why Real Estate Developers should preserve old buildings instead of building new.
