In December 2009 a fire nearly destroyed the Montpelier Senior Activity Center on Barre Street in Montpelier.

Before the fire, the building had some efficiency issues. The building’s energy consumption was huge with a budget of over $38,000 a year for heat and electricity. The 25,000 sq ft. building had no insulation, single-pane windows, and an outdated heating system that was controlled by only one thermostat.

Scott Nichols was present at the inauguration and was able to tour the facility. Here are some photos that he took:

The new building now meets all building codes, has a new kitchen, classrooms, new roof, solar panels, sprinkler and alarm systems, elevator, air conditioning, and of course a new Fröling P4 pellet boiler with thermal storage and an inside pellet storeroom.

The Fröling P4 pellet boiler was sold by Sunwood Biomass 124 Fiddlers Green, Waitsfield, VT 05673 802-583-9300 Contact: Dave Frank contact@sunwoodbiomass.com
