Past Events

Join us for a summer Pro Tour of a 1782 Vermont Farmhouse, currently under construction for a zero-energy retrofit and expansion in beautiful Reading, Vermont. This project combines an energy retrofit on a historic Cape and a high-performance vernacular addition built off-site to create a net zero energy building with reduced embodied carbon. This 4181 sq. ft. square-foot building and features updated hydronics, appliances, an air-water heat pump, EV charging, whose energy use is balanced via on-site photovoltaic electrical generation. The building was designed to blend into its rural setting, connect the living spaces to the surrounding landscape, and serve the diverse programming needs of the clients: aging in place, family gatherings, and hosting groups ranging from 10-40+ people for community-building events and smaller retreat experiences.
