Water recycling and rainwater harvesting systems drive first LEED Gold New Hampshire facility
Stately ambition.
Thomas Reilly, P.E., already had a wealth of experience working on LEED projects when he and his firm, Salem Engineering, were approached to design plasma, laser and waterjet manufacturer Hypertherm’s facility in Lebanon, N.H.
Reilly, a principal at the South Burlington, Vt.-based firm, initially was concerned about how his team could reach the LEED requirements in a manufacturing plant that uses copious amounts of energy. Middlebury, Vt.-based Bread Loaf Construction Vice President of Mechanical Systems John Johnston, P.E., worked with the owners to develop the mechanical and electrical systems.
