?? Welcome to Beacon House Square, an adaptive reuse project in Baltimore City that has been many years in the making.?? It is comprised of two historic church buildings, the oldest dating to 1893. The property will be repurposed into 80 units of permanent supportive housing and emergency shelter for Project PLASE (People Lacking Ample Shelter and?Employment), in partnership with Beacon Communities LLC. As part of the renovation the project is pursuing Enterprise Green Communities and ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction certification via the ASHRAE compliance pathway. This is no mean feat for an existing masonry building that will retain many of its historic features. Senior Energy Rater Alexander Haworth recently visited the site. "It was great to meet the team, walk the site with demo ongoing, and begin to identify some of the secrets and challenges that even the best made architectural drawings can never fully capture or anticipate. Beautiful building, beautiful purpose. I hope to document more in the months to come as construction progresses."
