“Preserving our heritage is really important” said David Huebel, President, Ecclesiastical. “These heritage properties hold stories that matter today, and by preserving them, we gain the opportunity to tell these stories in meaningful and tangible ways. At the same time, saving a property, or retrofitting it with greener technology, not only decreases our carbon footprint but is also a smart and sustainable use of resources.”
