Construction of the Red Clover Commons II Project consisted of 18 senior living apartments in Brattleboro, VT. Work on this building included remediation of contaminated soils, stormwater control, retention ponds, concrete foundations, panelized wood framing, air-source heat pumps to reduce the carbon footprint, a high efficient and airtight envelope, and solar panels covering the majority of the roof.
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!
