Historic Preservation. A generic term that encompasses all aspects of the professional and public concern related to the maintenance of a historic structure, site, or element in its current condition, as originally constructed, or with the additions and alterations determined to have acquired signihcance over time. 

The use of FRP is desired to replace older materials of construction such as concrete, stucco, etc. They have been used in many historical preservation projects. The reason they are desired is because of light weight, durability ease of installation, and low maintenance (no dry rot, attack by insects, mold, etc.). These are typically nonstructural parts made by spray-up process or continuous panel process. An example are shown in Figure 23.11. This market is expected to continue to grow. The main resin used for exterior architectural applications are halogenated polyester resins. Since there is not a smoke requirement, resins that meet the ASTM E-84 flame spread requirement of <25 can be used for this application. The other common material used for these applications is polyester resin or modified acrylic resins that are filled with ATH. The ATH filled resins can also be used in interior applications since they will typically also have low smoke values. 

Contact architectural conservators, historic preservation agencies, FEMA, and/or structural engineers before cleanup, especially for buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. 

Nebulizer solutions are now prepared as sterile products due to the degradation of drugs and the potential for nosocomiosis from contaminating microorganisms.36 Historically, preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, were employed, but this approach is no longer favored due to adverse events associated with these agents. 

American history is important to Massachusetts - this is where the Pilgrims landed, where the battles of the Revolutionary War were fought, and where the Kennedy s were born and raised. Visitors to the state are inundated with historical markers, houses and graveyards. Renovated white church steeples replace grain elevators and skyscrapers as the most common visages on the city s skyline. The countryside, with all this historical preservation, is best described as quaint. Inland towns, with you-pick apple orchards and cranberry wine, and seaside villages, with lobster pots and weathered downtowns, dot the landscape.

The U.S. Department of the Interior s Cultural Resources Office recommends that the historical significance, integrity, and architectural character of a historic building be assessed before work is undertaken. Your State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) can provide names of preservation professionals to do this type of evaluation. For a directory of State Historic Preservation Offices, contact the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, listed in Appendix B, under Historic Restoration. For sources of more specific information on lead paint hazard control and historic buildings, see the resources listed in Appendix B, under Historic Restoration.

Most professionals in the urban planning field have an area of specialty. Some of the most common areas are residential planning, transportation engineering and design, business and economic planning, historic preservation, environmental planning, and zoning and code enforcement.

Energy efficiency and historic preservation are rarely synonymous. More often than not, one must be compromised for the sake of the other. Fortunately, the University of Arkansas found a way around such compromises when it came to the restoration and mechanical renovation of the school s beloved Peabody HaU. 

Initially, the team looked into conventional comfort systems that would have required installing - and trying to hide - ductwork in the historic space. But it would have involved having to alter the space to accommodate the system. Daikin s solution would both heat and cool the space as well as provide a streamlined alternative for a historic preservation. 

On August 4, 1983, ten days after the expiration of the period for comment on the draft EIS, the GDOT made the decision to proceed with preparation of the final EIS around the build, that is, parkway, option. The GDOT and FHWA also began preparation of a preliminary case report (PGR) pursuant to section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 to evaluate the impact of the project on historic and archeological resources. The PGR was forwarded to the United States Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) on November 3,1983. Copies of the PGR were made available for public comment.
