Abbot Building Restoration restores façade of 3 condo buildings

Abbot recently completed restoration of the façade of three attached brick condominium buildings at 24-38 Summit Ave. When these buildings were converted to condominiums in the 1980s, the Condominium Association installed all new replacement windows at that time. Although the windows are technically the responsibility of the condominium unit owners, when the windows recently began to leak, the Condominium Association agreed to recaulk the windows as a courtesy to the condominium unit owners to minimize water seepage into the interior of the units. The Condominium Association hired the architectural consulting firm of Gorman Richardson Lewis to evaluate the situation and provide specifications for the repairs. Selected as the masonry contractor by the consulting firm, Abbot recaulked the entire front facade of all three buildings according to the architectural specifications to improve the water penetration problem. Abbot Building Restoration Company specializes in repair and maintenance of the building enclosures of aging structures in the greater Boston area. Abbot also provides remedial weatherproofing services to correct construction deficiencies in newer structures.

Recently passed legislation creates opportunities to meet CT’s changing energy needs - by Klein and Feinn

For decades, New England has had a summer-peaking power system, where the greatest energy use occurs on the hottest and most humid days, due to widespread use of air conditioning. But by the mid-2030s, electrification of the heating sector likely will result in a winter peak that’s higher than the summer peak.
