Newington, NH – Brookstone Builders, Inc., construction managers and general contractors headquartered in Manchester recently announced that they have been awarded an energy-saving renovation project by the NH Air National Guard in Newington.
The scope-of-work will involve replacing the site’s central heating plant with more energy-efficient decentralized gas-fired burners, which will be fed by approximately 1 ½ miles of new underground gas lines.
Each of the buildings involved will also be outfitted with roof-top solar-heated arrays, which will reduce the amount of energy required for hot water. In addition, each of the Air National Guard’s aircraft maintenance hangars will be outfitted with gas-fired radiant heaters, which are more effective for heating open-areas with high ceilings.
“We are happy to be working with the Air National Guard again, and appreciate the business relationship,” said Paula Scales, Brookstone Builder’s president. “We have seen a steady increase in the demand for energy-efficient or “green” construction in all sectors, and our workforce is well-experienced in this area.”
Jack Boardman of Brookstone Builders is the quality control manager for the project, while David Giovagnoli will serve as project manager. Mario Machado is the site superintendent.
A woman-owned enterprise, Brookstone Builders, Inc. was founded in 1984.
