Support the Window Preservation Standards Collaborative
The Preservation Trades Network is working in partnership with a consortium of nationally recognized window preservation specialists - Duffy Hoffman, John Leeke, Jim Turner, David Gibney and Bob Yapp - who are in the process of developing national standards for the repair and weatherization of old and historic windows. The Window Preservation Standards Collaborative (WPSC) will provide definitive energy testing data as well as standards for sustainable window repair, restoration and weatherization.
The replacement window industry is actively destroying hundreds of thousands of original and perfectly functional old windows every month. Based on the 8 billion dollars spent every year on replacement windows, as many as 12 million classic, old growth, wood window sashes end up in landfills annually. Still, over the last 30 years there has been a small group of window restoration experts, teaching, repairing, restoring and weatherizing historic windows. From the National Trust for Historic Preservation to statewide preservation groups to State Historic Preservation Offices to local preservation groups, saving historic windows has risen to the top of the agenda. As a result, more and more architects, specifiers, consultants, contractors and property developers are interested in specifying the weatherization and repair of historic windows with little information on standards they can use to do so. It is the purpose of the Window Preservation Standards Collaborative to change this by providing definitive energy testing data as well as standards for sustainable window repair, restoration and weatherization.
Please support the work of the WPSC by making a donation to help fund research and publication of the Window Preservation Standards.
