Monthly Tour of Energy Eff. Homes Under Construction

Contractors, “Do-it-yourselfers”, Architects, and future Energy Eff. home owners, are you interested in learning how to build an Energy Efficient Home? Dylan Kinsey, of Kinsey Construction, S. Albany, and the Craftsbury Energy Committee are offering a series of monthly workshops as Dylan and his wife, Eleanor, build their own home and their neighbor’s Energy Star home. Both homes follow Efficiency Vermont's “High Performance” home criteria, one step higher than the Energy Star “Base Level”.
The first monthly tour is Sat., 9/16, 11 am - 12, noon. Rain backup date is Sunday, 9/17, 11 - 12. Come and see the beginning stages of an Energy Efficient, High Performance home under construction with conventional and new materials, their applications, and R-value’s and air sealing focuses.
Both homes will feature electric Mini-Split Heat Pumps as the primary heat, Heat Recovery Ventilation units for fresh air, Heat Pump Water Heaters, and photovoltaic arrays to reach net-zero total energy use. Both houses have full concrete basements with double stud-style upper walls.
Please, serious inquires only. The house is at: 1289 S. Albany Rd., Albany, Vt. (1.289 miles from Creek Rd.) Park either on S. Albany Rd. or in the field next to the road.
Efficiency Vt. offers incentives for new Energy Star construction up to $2,000 for High Performance homes. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/my-drive
