The South Village Professional Office Building achieved exceptional air sealing numbers. Sandy LaFlamme of Efficiency Vermont stated that, “This is one of the tightest commercial buildings tested by Efficiency Vermont – and it also achieved Core Performance, a nationally recognized set of high-performing building standards offered through Efficiency Vermont.” Construction of the South Village Professional Office Building was completed in March 2011. The two story, 17,000 square foot office building is sited within Middlebury South Village, a 31 acre master-planned community that is a winner of the 2008 Smart Growth Award.
