Climate change and sustainability are the key issues in modern preservation, ranging from incorporating existing buildings into adaptation and mitigation planning to understand the importance of intangible heritage and cultural attachment to a place; encouraging the communities to adjust to the new normal.As communities and neighborhoods around countries begin to take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with buildings, it is increasingly important to understand the potential advantages and disadvantages of each and every element associated with the building preservation process. One of the least talked about elements includes the materials used for preservation and conservation. The quantity and type of materials used in building preservation can increase, reduce, or even negate the benefits of saving a historic building in terms of its carbon footprint. Most of the global studies and use of sustainable construction techniques and materials are for new structures and not for building conservation. Natural and renewable materials are being explored and researched to replace the materials which might not necessarily be sustainable; materials with high carbon footprint or toxic composition releasing VOCs. As a matter of fact, one of the challenges of the newly researched materials is to match the performance standards of the materials that are aimed to be replaced. These are not being used in the context of urban historic preservation or building conservation practices. There's an opportunity to include these practices in US urban contexts, as a part of environmental sustainability. Historically, craftspeople used the physical properties of natural materials in ways that maximized their use, performance, and potential of the material's inherent properties. Traditional details often exhibit an understanding of material behavior that has been lost and supplanted by modern construction techniques that are focused on speed, and low cost of completion and often lead to the loss of traditional skills. The construction industry is driven by money and time; design and environmental sustainability take a backseat. The term 'natural materials' refers to those substances that are found in nature and which can either be used directly for some particular building function or require a minimum amount of human intervention and some kind of processing to make them usable. A new vision is required to preserve using natural materials. This could be an invaluable starting point that merits further exploration to achieve sustainable development goals. Many of the natural materials were used historically. It is important to learn and take something from the past and reintroduce it in a better way for the future. The primary goal of this study is to explore ways of making preservation practice more sustainable focusing on the use of natural and more sustainable material alternatives for the architectural preservation practice in New York City. The objective of the study is to harness natural materials from the past, understand the compatibility of these materials with the current architectural preservation and conservation practices, and the possibilities of upscaling the manufacturing and retail availability of these materials to be reintroduced as a sustainable measure to improve current preservation practices. Concrete and cement are big "carbon culprits". The focus of the study is to look into the possibility of introducing natural substitutes for these materials, "big carbon offenders" of the construction industry. There are multiple examples of these substitutes in nature but the study has been restricted to a bio-composite of the hemp plant, called hempcrete. There is a possibility of making preservation sustainable. The construction industry is already practicing environment-conscious steps to reduce the harmful results of carbon footprint. Preservation can also benefit from adopting these natural substitutes. Natural materials are a way of bridging the gap between preservation and sustainability. There are a lot of natural materials and this research is an example of what needs to be done with these materials. We need a new vision and a change; this change can be gradual but it needs to start now. We have the opportunity to learn from our past and take a step towards making preservation sustainable for our future.
