Substitute materials have become acceptable replacements for historic materials because of original material's cost, availability, maintenance and stricter fire, wind and water damage building codes. Join host Peter H. Miller at the annual American Institute of Architects exposition as he speaks to preservation architects and a composite roofing material supplier. They cover when, where, how and why to specify substitute materials for traditional buildings, where historic authenticity is balanced with other required building solutions.
