1. Provide a working vocabulary in each of the areas.
2. Discuss issues in each of the areas that specifically deal with historic preservation.
3. Establish a beginners level understanding of how each of these areas work in a building and provide some useful information on how to diagnose and remedy simple problems.
4. Present an historical perspective on the development of each of these trades.

This $49.95 course defines sustainable development as keeping what is "valuable by meeting our needs without prejudicing the ability of future generations to meet other own needs."

This course shows how sustainability and historic preservation work hand-in-hand to meet the goals of both.

The instructor, Hector Abreu Cintron, is well known in the preservation community as a cultural resources management expert.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/plan-180-preservation-and-sustainability-webinar/feed/ 3 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dod-standard-treatments/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dod-standard-treatments/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:59:25 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3838
Sixteen additional treatments are under review, and DOD comments will be incorporated as they are received.

This effort is directed at improving the technical content of the draft DOD treatment standards and the stewardship of DOD cultural resources.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dod-standard-treatments/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/#comments Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:02:18 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3836 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/feed/ 1 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/a-grading-protocol-for-structural-lumber-and-timber-in-historic-structures-2009-01/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/a-grading-protocol-for-structural-lumber-and-timber-in-historic-structures-2009-01/#comments Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:59:29 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3636 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/a-grading-protocol-for-structural-lumber-and-timber-in-historic-structures-2009-01/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/international-preservation-trades-workshop-2009-iptw/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/international-preservation-trades-workshop-2009-iptw/#comments Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:46:58 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3512

After two days of intense discussions, the group developed the core of the Pocantico Proclamation on Sustainability and Historic Preservation. While a good starting point to further discussion on sustainability of the built environment, we ask that you review the Pocantico Proclamation and add your comments. Input from the broader preservation community is critical. We appreciate your participation. ]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/pocantico-proclamation-on-sustainability-and-historic-preservation/feed/ 14 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/limewash-workshop/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/limewash-workshop/#comments Thu, 28 May 2009 18:51:35 +0000 Sarah Jackson http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2767 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/limewash-workshop/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/podcast-episode-3-rapid-documentation-of-historic-resource/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/podcast-episode-3-rapid-documentation-of-historic-resource/#comments Fri, 08 May 2009 19:43:29 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3137 Download Episode 3 as an mp3 or subscribe via iTunes.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/podcast-episode-3-rapid-documentation-of-historic-resource/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-institute-nantucket/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-institute-nantucket/#comments Fri, 01 May 2009 17:19:39 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3097 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-institute-nantucket/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nondestructive-evaluation-methods-for-historic-structures/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nondestructive-evaluation-methods-for-historic-structures/#comments Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:49:45 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2984 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/nondestructive-evaluation-methods-for-historic-structures/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/architectural-records-conference-2008-03/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/architectural-records-conference-2008-03/#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 19:37:23 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=896 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/architectural-records-conference-2008-03/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/#comments Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:45:57 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=902 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-sustainability-perfect-together/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-sustainability-perfect-together/#comments Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:56:36 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2231 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-sustainability-perfect-together/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/the-other-white-paint/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/the-other-white-paint/#comments Thu, 05 Feb 2009 06:00:36 +0000 Adam Zelasko http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1445 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/the-other-white-paint/feed/ 2 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-anchor-strength-in-stone-masonry-2008-05/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-anchor-strength-in-stone-masonry-2008-05/#comments Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:17:56 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1293 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-anchor-strength-in-stone-masonry-2008-05/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/atc-sei-call-for-proposals-open-until-february-27-2009/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/atc-sei-call-for-proposals-open-until-february-27-2009/#comments Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:00:32 +0000 Sarah Jackson http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=729 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/atc-sei-call-for-proposals-open-until-february-27-2009/feed/ 0
