Installing Today's Technology In Yesterday's Homes

Installers worked carefully to preserve the historical integrity of this beautiful residence.

The Episcopal Church of Princeton takes its role of environmental stewardship seriously.  Herbs and vegetables are grown on the property using organic non-chemical growing methods and used in the preparation of meals.  Vegetable matter generated on the property is composted and used in garden beds located on premise.  All paper products, including service booklets are recycled, as are plastics and other recyclables and use of 'throw-away' products is minimized.  

With such a strong commitment to the natural environment, it didn't take the staff of the Episcopal Church of Princeton long to act following the results of a recent energy audit of the Procter House.  With most of the building dating back more than 150 years, virtually no insulation was found in the walls or the attic and the overall air leakage rate of the building was significantly above recommended levels.  

Technicians painstakingly air-sealed and insulated exterior walls, attic entryways, attic flat, and the rim-joist of The Procter House to improve the overall comfort and energy efficiency of the dwelling.  The projected energy savings of these measures is expected to yield more than a twenty five percent annual reduction in energy consumption and will significantly reduce the environmental footprint of the structure.
