Green Mountain Club Has New Wood Heating System

Print More

The Green Mountain Club has a new wood-burning heat and hot water system on a building at its Waterbury Center headquarters.

The system is part of a 100 percent renewable energy system at the club’s headquarters.

The club installed the system with the help of a $67,000 grant secured by Senator Patrick Leahy. The grant was administered by the Vermont Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation.

Officials say the prefabricated boiler system provides a clean and renewable source of heat and hot water for the building, which is not large enough to house an interior boiler system, such as the one used by the club’s main visitor center and headquarters.
