Completion
Completion date
01/01/2011
Occupancy
The building, 4 Balsam Way has been continuously occupied by at least 2 persons since we moved in January 2011 to now, November 2012. For the first 6 months we had a teenager living with us while she went to school locally. In the almost two year period, with an exception of two weeks this last summer and an occasional overnight visit to our families we have lived here continuously. One occupant is retired and home most all day and second occupant is a school teacher and works 10 months per year. Person days of occupancy = 1485.
Scope
We set three goals for the project, to maintain the historic character, make the renovation sustainable and green and provide an energy efficient building.
