Lowell, Massachusetts, Preserves Historic Home Through Energy Upgrades
February 7, 2013
Through the BetterBuildings Lowell Energy Upgrade program, the historic house will receive upgrades that include a high-velocity, small-duct HVAC system, updated storm windows, and attic insulation. These upgrades will reduce humidity in order to preserve the artwork displayed, and catch up to modern electrical demand without sacrificing the home's historic characteristics—all while providing energy savings of more than 30%.
