Sad to see the HPRB shoot itself in the foot. I'm all for preservation, but when they do this kind of thing, I cringe. Like when they force people to install million dollar windows. Someone needs to develope a preservation lite category that will save the building while allowing for these superficial changes that can be easily reversed.

This makes sense. Surely there are ways to preserve most of the look and feel without some of the outrageously strict rules, such as the $1m windows that aren't energy efficient anyway.

Likewise, there are solar roof tiles that, while not identical to a typical roof, at least are plausibly similar. Did the owners or HRPB consider those?
