Constructing buildings, partnerships and relationships with integrity since 1879

Green Building Advisors


Our Green Building experience is extensive and dates back around 20 years with the construction of Vermont Law School’s Oakes Hall, a new classroom building designed to conserve energy and reduce water use.

This experience now includes over 21 LEED rated projects as well as other sustainable buildings with high performance and low energy use characteristics.

We have completed several projects that have benefited from geothermal and solar energy components.  During the past 20 years we have gained knowledge relative to building envelopes, such as thermal breaks, insulations and air barriers, all intended to improve performance while minimizing energy use.

At H.P. Cummings, we are committed to environmental stewardship and green building best practices. For decades, we have helped clients construct high-performance buildings that reduce environmental impact and operate more efficiently.
