Dumbarton Oaks Museum, renowned for its historical significance and architectural splendor, faced a unique challenge: how to modernize facilities while preserving the site’s rich heritage. With aging infrastructure and escalating energy consumption, the museum sought a sustainable solution to reduce environmental impact without compromising historical integrity.
RIFE International’s partnership with Dumbarton Oaks Museum centered on a comprehensive energy efficiency initiative aimed at balancing tradition with innovation. Through meticulous energy audits and BEPS reporting, we identified tailored solutions to enhance energy performance while preserving architectural authenticity. By leveraging advanced technologies and sustainable practices, including energy conservation measures (ECMs) and building compliance strategies, we not only achieved significant energy savings but also contributed to the long-term sustainability of this iconic institution. A comprehensive report detailing findings, recommended EEMs, and implementation strategies was delivered to Dumbarton Oaks.
