Construction of the Red Clover Commons II Project consisted of 18 senior living apartments in Brattleboro, VT.

The blower door test project goal was 1,300 CFM50 to achieve 0.05 CFM50 per square foot, the Efficiency Vermont program’s goal for this project was 2,500 CFM50, and the final test result of the building was actually 1,000 CFM50 which exceeded both goals!

Woolson Block

Springfield, Vermont

Project Type: Housing
  • OWNER: Housing Vermont
  • ARCHITECT: Black River Design
  • DELIVERY METHOD: CM

The Woolson Block is a 4-Story, Italianate-style brick building built in 1868. The building was well-kept as a mixed-use building, but in recent years, it had fallen into disrepair, leading to a tax sale by the owners. It had been partially demolished and had started renovations. Springfield Housing Authority partnered with Evernorth to purchase the building to renovate the space into commercial and affordable housing.

H.P. Cummings Construction Company helped bring this building into a new phase of its life cycle. Not only did we create 15 rental apartments, but we also created four single-room occupancies for homeless and at-risk youth and commercial spaces that were ready for occupants. One of the biggest objectives of the renovations was to stabilize the face of the ledge underneath the building from falling into the river, which was done by drilling into the ledge and placing anchors and epoxy to hold together the rock.

Middlebury College: 3 South Street Renovations

Middlebury, Vermont

Project Type: Education, Green Building and Housing
  • OWNER: Middlebury College
  • ARCHITECT: Smith, Alvarez, Sienkiewycz, Architects
  • DELIVERY METHOD: CM

This project involved an addition and renovation to 3 South Street at Middlebury College. This project included the construction of a new stone terrace, first-floor meeting, and living space with a residence above. The renovations included the installation of geothermal wells for heating and cooling and the installation of a solar array that produces 20% of the building’s electrical needs.

To achieve the LEED certification, this project had to meet or exceed numerous requirements amongst seven categories which included sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation in design, and regional priority credits.

This project received LEED Platinum certification and an Efficiency Vermont Honor Award for Commercial Major Renovation.

Comments regarding the blower door test results:

“It is very rare that I inspect an existing or new construction building that has the attention given to air-leakage control work as is being done at the President’s House at Middlebury College. HP Cummings is one of the very few companies that has taken “ownership” for responsibility of this new trade in construction, Pressure Plane Integrity… HP Cummings has invested in equipment that is required for professionals in the air leakage-control trade. You have also invested in the education to create knowledgeable/competent crew leaders and technicians doing the air-leakage control work. I have watched and participated in your progress over the last decade.
It was a pleasure showing up at this job site and seeing the positive results of your investments.”

Project Type: Housing
  • OWNER: Cathedral Square Corporation & Housing Vermont
  • ARCHITECT: S2 Architecture
  • DELIVERY METHOD: CM

This project included renovations to two buildings containing 24 units of elderly housing and associated site work. The buildings were occupied by residents and needed to be phased in order to accommodate the residents.

Some of the scope included but wasn’t limited to site paving, energy improvements such as new windows, doors, roofing, insulation, boilers, ventilation, electrical, and other miscellaneous repairs. We coordinated with the owner, the architect, the engineers, and a weatherization contractor to achieve a more sustainable and energy-efficient property for the owners. The weatherization contractor was brought on to this project by the owners. We also had to extensively coordinate moving the tenants when it was time to renovate their apartments.
