Manufacturing and administrative space addition (31,474 SF). All aspects of the construction were reviewed extensively to achieve high energy conservation. Examples – are solar trackers, roof-mounted photovoltaic systems, geothermal wells, and a well-sealed envelope. Dual-flush toilets, ground source cooling, and effective stormwater management achieve water quality and savings. Earth-friendly and healthy materials include low and no-VOC adhesives, concrete flooring, and sustainably harvested wood furniture. Excellent indoor air quality comes from natural ventilation, operable windows, indoor plants, and low and no VOC materials.
This project received LEED Gold certification and an Efficiency Vermont Better Buildings by Design award, First Place Large Buildings.
