Representative Peter Welch, the House leader on energy efficiency issues, announced today the relocation of his Vermont office to an historic and energy efficient building in Burlington’s South End.
The Innovation Center of Vermont, built in 1894 as the Queen City Cotton Mill, is the former home of General Dynamics and the current home of Efficiency Vermont, Vermont’s energy efficiency utility. The building is highly energy efficient, harnessing geothermal energy for cooling and achieving an overall 99 percent Energy Star rating.
‘We look forward to serving Vermonters from this new location,’ said Welch. ‘The Innovation Center is a model of energy efficiency and a flagship for some of the latest efficiency technology.’
Rep. Welch has introduced a series of bills in the House on energy efficiency modeled after Vermont’s pioneering efficiency programs. He is the founder of both the House Energy Saving Performance Caucus and the House High Performance Building Caucus.
Vermonters seeking assistance with federal agencies or to give input on federal issues can visit the new office at:
128 Lakeside Avenue
Suite 235
Burlington, Vermont 05401
The phone numbers and website are unchanged:
