    Henry. Building diagnostics pertain to the determination of the nature of a building's condition of performance and the identification of the corresponding causative pathologies by careful oberservation and investigation of its history, context and use. Monitoring, a building diagnostic tool, is the consistent observation and recordation of a selected condition or attribute, by qualitative and/or quantitative measures over a period of time in order to generate useful information or data for analysis and presentation. Building diagnostics and monitoring allow the building professional to identify the causes and enabling factors or past or potential pathologies in a building and building systems, thus informing the development of buildings, the process informs the selection of interventions that satisfy the stewardship goals for cultural resource.

  • HSPV 572: Preservation Through Public Policy

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Hollenberg. An exploration of the intersection between historic preservation, design, and public policy. That exploration is based on the recognition that a network of law and policy at the federal, state and local level has profound impact on the ability to manage cultural resources, and that the pieces of that network, while interconnecting, are not necessarily mutually supportive. The fundamental assumption of the course is that the preservation professional must understand the capabilities and deficiencies of this network in order to be effective. The course will look at a range of relevant and exemplary laws and policies existing at all levels of government, examining them through case studies and field exercises.
