April Updates at Alice Holway Drive: Blower Door Testing, Hose bib installed for PCG, and Request for Artist Qualifications for Place-Based Art
First we'd like to share a huge thank you to those who participated in the story gathering event and/or sent in information on Alice Holway, Carol Brown, Eva Mondon, and the Aiken Nursery. Listening to and reading the stories and seeing the images has really been a gift (just a sampling pictured here). We're excited to be moving forward with the place-based art. If you are an artist interested please find our Request For Qualifications on our info page. We're received a number of recommendations from the community and are sending directly to these.
🚧Alice Holway Construction news
Blower Door:
Alice Holway Drive achieved an air leakage rate of 0.063 CFM/sf at 75Pa, exceeding its target of 0.1 CFM/sf at 75Pa. This represents a 37% improvement over the Efficiency Vermont High Performance Building standard, ensuring an extremely tight thermal envelope. Coupled with whole-building energy recovery ventilation and ground source heat pumps for heating and cooling, Alice Holway Drive will provide 25 healthy, comfortable energy efficient homes.⚡
Hose Bibb 🌱
Utilizing the exiting utility work happening at Alice Holway Drive, the Putney Community Gardens were able to install a standalone water supply in the Garden, providing a consistent and convenient access point for gardeners. WWHT was happy to assist in providing this resource to the Community Gardens, and are excited to see this space flourish.
