Deep Energy Retrofit Tour at IHT’s Richmond Ave Project

The Island Housing Trust (IHT) invites you to its Deep Energy Retrofit Tour at 42 Richmond Avenue in Oak Bluffs on Saturday, October 24th from 10:00 to 11:00am. Farley Pedler from Farley Built and Marc Rosenbaum from South Mountain Company will take you on a tour to show you what it takes, what it costs, and what the benefits are of deep energy retrofitting your house, and why it makes so much sense for affordability in housing.

When Lorraine and Napoleon Pinckney bequeathed their single-family house, built in 1986, to the Island Housing Trust, it was the perfect opportunity to invest in its energy affordability.  Working with South Mountain Company, Farley-Built, The Resource Inc (TRI), the Town of Oak Bluffs Community Preservation Committee, Nelson Mechanical Design, and our generous donors,  the Island Housing Trust will complete the deep

energy retrofit before selling the house with permanent affordability restrictions to an income qualified working island family for $225,000.
