EHDA Honorable Mention: Spring Street Renovation

REMODELING, WHOLE HOUSE

This LEED-Gold project expertly demonstrates that a renovation can be both historically appropriate and highly sustainable. High-density spray foam insulation, Energy Star appliances and windows, WaterSense-rated plumbing fixtures, and a high-performance HVAC system are just some of the products A4 Architecture + Planning used to enhance the efficiency of this 80-year-old home.
