SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Sustainability is intrinsic to the adaptive

reuse and preservation of existing

buildings. BKV strives to incorporate many

of the following features into a renovation

project:

- Installation of energy efficient,

insulated windows where feasible

and allowable by SHPO and NPS

- Natural daylighting to minimize

electric lighting needs

- Energy efficient mechanical and

electrical systems

- Energy Star appliances

- Use of low VOC paints

CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLIES

The construction assemblies for renovation

projects can take on numerous

characteristics to provide noise mitigation

and sound attenuation measures. BKV

works closely with acoustic consultants

to design cost effective and successful

performance-based construction

assemblies while maintaining the original

characteristics of the historic structure. We

continually investigate ways to improve

the construction techniques for floor

assemblies, roof assemblies, party walls

and corridor walls.

HISTORIC ANALYSIS & APPROVALS

When federal and state tax credits

are pursued, we often recommend

the addition of a historic consultant to

procure the various written submittals

required for the State Historic Preservation

Office (SHPO) and the Department of the

Interior’s National Park Service (NPS). We

work closely with historic consultants to

gain the support and approvals from SHPO

and NPS. BKV provides the necessary

building documentation to assure that

Part 1, Part 2 and final Part 3 historic

designation requirements are fulfilled in

order to obtain tax credits.
