Is it possible to convert a vintage brownstone into a zero energy building without sacrificing it's charming architectural features
I'm intrigued by the idea of "zero energy" buildings, but when I hear the term my first thought is of dwellings with a look of brute functionality and stark modernism. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm wondering if it is possible to convert a brownstone built in the Victorian era into a zero energy building without losing the architectural details that make it charming. How invisible is it possible for the necessary conversions to be? And if full conversion isn't possible, what IS possible in the spirit of "zero energy" that is fairly unobtrusive?
Pics appreciated :-)
