Historic Inn Aims For Net-Zero With VRF, Geothermal
Located on the Piscataquis River in Maine, The Mill at Dover-Foxcroft is a 60,000-sq-ft complex comprising nine structures built between 1841 and 1944. After sitting vacant for nearly a decade, Arnold Development Group embarked on a full renovation of the complex to develop a mixed-use building complete with residences, office space, a café, and a boutique inn.
On the National Register of Historic Places, the renovation of The Mill required an update to modern amenities with limited modifications of the building’s envelope. In addition to the preservation of the structure, the developer also desired to make the building a net-zero facility in the future with plans to restore the turbine of the pre-existing hydroelectric dam.
