Neagley + Chase Construction Company

A New Headquarters for the Vermont Natural Resources Council (VNRC)

In 2019, the NCC Team reflected on our Company’s earliest Historic Preservation efforts: Our work to preserve, restore, and repurpose some of our region’s most significant Historic buildings on the Shelburne Farm Campus.

At the time, we wrote about the synergy between Historic Preservation and Sustainability, encouraged by an increasing trend to push the boundaries of Sustainability and Energy Efficiency, while revitalizing beautiful existing building stock. You can read more about this reflection here: https://www.neagleychase.com/historic-preservation-and-sustainability-a-perfect-partnership/

Two notable Historic Adaptation projects, one for Vermont Public Radio (VPR) and the other for the Town of Shelburne, were also highlighted in a video we created entitled “NCC: Partners in Progress”. You can watch that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owEsuXv-Rf8&feature=emb_title

Fast forward another year, and we are excited to be partnering with the Teams at Vermont Natural Resources Council (VNRC), Vermont Integrated Architecture (VIA), and HELM Construction Solutions, to again blend forward-thinking Sustainable Design with an extensive Historic Restoration & Adaptation.

This project includes a complete rehabilitation of a beautiful Federal Style residence built a few doors down from the Vermont State House in the late 1800’s. The scope of work includes a full thermal envelope and window upgrade, a complete MEP systems replacement including an air source heat pump (ASHP) system, site improvements, reconfiguration of spaces and restored finishes throughout. The project’s sustainability goals include Net Zero Ready Energy and Low Embodied Carbon, with some exciting work underway to accurately track the project’s Embodied Carbon.

Construction is set to begin in the Fall of 2020 and we look forward to once again blending our passions for both Historic Preservation and Sustainability.

Rich Wickman, Project Manager, Housing Vermont

Projects that include a mix of new and rehab construction are a particular challenge. Both sites were very tight, permitted under stringent guidelines, and required extensive coordination with subcontractors to meet our goal of creating long lasting, very energy efficient buildings. Efficient Vermont has awarded both buildings a 5-Star rating – indicative of the good oversight and care that went into coordinating this work.”

“The Neagley & Chase team was committed to the Performance Center meeting the Passive House air tightness standard of 0.05 CFM50/sf. There were challenges along the way: Winter, new products, and materials not performing as expected. They adapted to every challenge with innovation and attention to detail. The building surpassed the target at 0.027 CFM50/sf. Nice work NCC!”
