Town of Middlebury Wins the Vermont’s Greenest Building Award for 2017
On Thursday, May 17, 2018 the Town of Middlebury was awarded the Greenest Building award for 2017 for the Middlebury Town Office Building from the Vermont Green Building Network (VGBN) during a ceremony at the Town Offices. The award ceremony coincided with a tour of the Town Office Building by attendees of the Vermont Town and City Management Association’s Spring Conference.
Chris Huston, from Bread Loaf Corporation, along with Select Board member Victor Nuovo, John Dale and Paul Wyncoop of Bread Loaf, and Efficiency Vermont’s Nick Thiltgen, presented the award to Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay, who accepted the award on behalf of the Town. The building was recognized for its performance over the entire operating cycle of 2017, for exemplary energy efficiency and as a Net Zero Ready facility (The building will be officially Net Zero once the town controls the renewable energy credits from their solar array).
Mr. Huston thanked the entire team for the highly collaborative approach which was fundamental to the success of the project. He also read the following statement from Jenna Antonino DiMare, the Executive Director of VGBN:
“I am proud of the excellent work Bread Loaf Corporation is doing to push the market towards more sustainable building practices. The Vermont Green Building Network was delighted to award its net zero ready Middlebury Town Office project the Vermont’s Greenest Building Award in the commercial category this year. Congratulations to their entire team for helping to ensure this building exemplifies best practices in municipal buildings, and creates a new standard for environmentally responsible construction and operations in Vermont.”
Middlebury College was also recognized for their significant Contributions of the ambitious project and for their specific support of the net zero features of the new Middlebury Town Offices.
