the present without<br />
compromising the<br />
ability of future<br />
generations to meet<br />
their own needs.”<br />

SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP S PRINCIPLES<br />
1)R 1.) Reuse existing buildings<br />
2.) Reinvest in communities<br />
3.) Retrofit older buildings<br />
4.) Respect historic integrity<br />

2. Another 10 support preservation activities.<br />
3. Any existing building can basically get a<br />
“certified” rating with very little effort.<br />
4. Getting “silver” requires a bit more effort<br />
and “gold” is readily achievable.

Cliveden, Philadelphia, PA<br />
Environmental Management Project
Cliveden - Passive Approaches for<br />
Improved Environmental Control<br />
• Separate humans from collections<br />
– Relocate offices out of the Main House<br />
– Relocate collections storage out of the Main<br />
House<br />
• Improve envelope performance<br />
– Reduce water penetration and humidity at<br />
basement<br />
– Reduce air infiltration<br />
– Insulate and seal attic
Cliveden - Low Tech Improvements<br />
• Replace attic<br />
insulation<br />
• Refurbish site<br />
drainage to<br />
reduce water<br />
penetration ti at<br />
basement
Cliveden - New HVAC System<br />
• Replace gas-fired boiler<br />
in Wash House<br />
• Replace basement air<br />
handler<br />
• Control heat by<br />
humidistat--maintain<br />
winter humidity levels l<br />
above 25%, with steam<br />
humidifier back-up
Cliveden - New HVAC System<br />
• Cooling coil at the air<br />
handler to maintain<br />
summer humidity level<br />
below 70%<br />
• Air circulation from<br />
basement to attic w/<br />
returns in new air shafts<br />
and lined chimneys<br />
• New chiller behind Wash<br />
House sized for future air<br />
conditioning in tenant<br />
spaces
WOODROW WILSON HOUSE<br />
Evaluating the<br />
Environmental Needs<br />
of the Entire Site
Woodrow Wilson House - Project<br />
Approach<br />
• To provide the highest level of stewardship of<br />
the building and the collections in the most<br />
sustainable manner possible;<br />
• To maintain authenticity of the site and enhance<br />
the visitor experience
Woodrow Wilson House - Project<br />
Approach<br />
• Envelope restoration complete<br />
• Fourth floor occupancy issues<br />
• Disorganized allocation of office space<br />
• Lack of suitable museum quality storage<br />
• Aging steam heating system<br />
• No central cooling system<br />
• No humidity control<br />
• Limited income producing facilities
Woodrow Wilson House - Project<br />
Approach
Woodrow Wilson House<br />
Augment existing radiators with under<br />
floor radiant heating and cooling with<br />
geothermal wells<br />
1. Convert steam radiators to<br />
hot water & replace piping<br />
2. Replace boiler<br />
3. Install under floor radiant<br />
tubing system<br />
4. Install water source heat<br />
pumps outside museum<br />
spaces<br />
5. Construct geothermal wells

GREEN JOBS<br />
• I wonder why it is so difficult for folks to see<br />

genuine economic engines and job<br />
generators. And none of those jobs can be<br />
outsourced.<br />
