Thermal Envelope Improvements for Canaan Town Office

Background

The Town of Canaan is seeking proposals for building envelope improvements aimed at reducing air leakage and enhancing thermal performance. This initiative is based on findings from the MERP Level 2 Energy Assessment and is part of the town's efforts to improve energy efficiency in municipal buildings.

Work Details

The scope of work includes: A. Install Air and Thermal Barrier at Roof Plane: Relocate the air and thermal barrier to the underside of the roof using spray foam to create a conditioned attic space and eliminate leakage through the ceiling assembly. B. Chimney Air Sealing: Construct an air barrier using framing and sheathing, sealed with spray foam, to prevent airflow between conditioned and unconditioned spaces around the chimney. C. Door Weatherstripping Upgrades: Replace and install weatherstripping at all door perimeters and add door sweeps at thresholds due to observed air leakage. D. Window Replacement: Proposals are sought for full window replacement throughout the building, as existing windows (circa 1970s) exhibit significant air leakage.

Period of Performance

All work must be completed by October 30, 2026.

Place of Performance

Canaan Town Office, Canaan, Vermont.
