Project Overview

A comprehensive report, including three options for new service, was developed by a consortium of professionals for a new HVAC system for the Plummer House of the Arts. This group of professionals consisted of an AIA/LEED certified architect, an HVAC engineer, an historical consultant and a forester. The Henry S. Plummer House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and contains pieces of art and furnishings requiring museum quality climate control.

Carefully analyzed, cost-effective and sensitive strategies to provide this climate control are clearly outlined for the implementation phase of the project. The best  and most recommended of three options is identified in the report.
