On Thursday, October 20th community members celebrated the opening of Morrisville Community Housing.

The Putney School field house is featured in Vermont Magazine's Fall Foliage and Back to School, September/October 2011 issue. The article "The Putney School Field House: A Very 'Green' Building!" recognizes the field house as both USGBC LEED Platinum certified and net zero.

"The Putney School Field House has used 48,374 kilowatt-hours of electricity, while its renewable energy sources - 16 sun-tracking photovoltaic cells - have produced 51,371 kilowatt-hours. Not only is the Field House net-zero, it is actually producing nearly 3,000 more kilowatt-hours of energy than it is consuming!"

Current output data for Maclay Architect's recently installed 17.55 kW photovoltaic carport is available for viewing online through Sunny Portal.

The Putney School Field House designed by Maclay Architects has earned LEED platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Field House Achieves LEED Platinum Rating.

Waitsfield, Vermont — Despite today’s fast paced and digitally driven world, examples of effective and sustained innovation are few and far between.  Authors Peter J. Denning and Robert Dunham explore and re-define the elusive and yet highly sought after concept of innovation in their recently published book called The Innovator’s Way. The authors profile seven disparate individuals who embody true innovation, including local sustainable architect, Bill Maclay of Waitsfield.

Net-zero building design is generating increasing interest as concerns about energy costs and carbon emissions mount. Vermont architectural firm, Maclay Architects, has added a new section to its website to serve as a resource for those interested in learning more about net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs). The section offers information on the different, and sometimes conflicting, ways the term "net-zero" is being used, net-zero design plans for homeowners, net-zero energy case studies for projects the firm has worked on, and links to other resources.

Vermont architectural firm Maclay Architects received top honors for the net-zero energy design of the Putney School field house in the new construction (small building) category at Efficiency Vermont's 2010 Better Buildings by Design Conference.

A second manufacturing and office building designed by Maclay Architects for Vermont wind measurement manufacturer NRG Systems has earned LEED gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
