These guidelines greatly expand and replace the chapter on "Energy Conservation" in the Illustrated Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings published in 1992.

"Civil War: The Home Front" Map Guide to Appalachia
The Appalachian Regional Commission has announced the new "Civil War: The Home Front" map guide to Appalachia developed to observe the 150th commemoration of the American Civil War and boost tourism in the Appalachian Region. The map guide showcases the diversity of Appalachia's Civil War heritage attractions. While most Civil War stories focus on battles and military history, few narratives have explored how sites away from the battlefields on the home front were affected by the war. The map guide highlights these places and the social and technological history behind them. Visitors are invited to see the heritage farms, railroads, restored houses and historic downtowns, national parks and memorials, living history museums, and many other attractions integral to the Civil War era. The map guide is available as an interactive feature online where additional information specific to each Appalachian state is available.
