Bypassing the wasteful process of demolition and reconstruction alone sells the environmental benefits of adaptive use. Environmental benefits, combined with the energy savings and social advantage of recycling a valued heritage place make adaptive use of historic buildings an essential component of sustainable development. To mark Australia's Year of the Built Environment 2004, this booklet will explore some of the environmental, social and economic benefits of the adaptive reuse of historic buildings".-- Intro Notes At head of title: Australian Government Department of the Environment and Heritage Cover title Cover: The Royal Australian Institute of Architects ; Year of the Built Environment 2004 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Also available via the World Wide Web Copyright Commonwealth of Australia 2004 Subject Historic buildings -- Conservation and restoration -- Australia.
