Bradford Academy Energy Audit

In the 2009 heating season, the Town of Bradford spent $33,000 on heating oil for the 39,000 square foot Bradford Academy building. In response to the need to make the Bradford Academy more energy-efficient, Bradford Conservation Commission’s Energy Committee assisted Jon Haehnel of Zero By Degrees, LLC in conducting an energy audit on January 23, 2010. The results of this audit will soon be available to the public. Funding options are being explored for paying for needed energy-efficiency retrofits. Album 1 of 7.

Nikki Darling, Kathy Davidow, Gary Tillotson and Dick Bolander helped to install large fans in exit doors, which drew out warm air. Jon then used the infra-red camera to locate the areas of the building where cold air was rushing in to replace the warm air.

Waits River Watershed Presentation

Gretchen Alexander, VT ANR River Scientist, Ben Copans, Watershed Coordinator and Dan Rudell of Redstart Consulting explained river dynamics at the old swimming hole on the South Branch of the Waits River on Monday, August 17th. This was followed by a pizza dinner provided by the Corinth Conservation Commission and a slide presentation of Redstart’s 2-year study of the Waits River and its tributaries. That study was funded by a grant from ANR’s River Management Program, that was administered for the Waits River Watershed Council by the Bradford Conservation Commission. The full report of that study will soon be available. Contact Ben Copans at 802-751-2610 for a copy.

Cookeville Compost - The Process

Cookeville Compost: The Process Totes are collected, emptied at the site and the food waste is mixed with wood chips and sawdust. Piles are turned and after a few weeks a rich compost is produced. Totes are pressure washed with a hot water system and returned to the food waste generators the following week.

Cookeville Compost - Transformation

Cookeville Compost: Transformation Food scraps collected in totes are mixed with carbon-based organic matter and piled. The temperature in the piles reaches 140 – 150 degrees due to microorganisms breaking down the materials. The piles are turned to provide oxygen (Note the steam rising from inside the pile.) Within a few weeks, the matter is converted into a nutrient-rich soil additive.
