Heritage Flight and Aviation Wind Project

“Alteris was a knowledgeable and effective partner in our efforts to design and install a suite of renewable energy features into our Aviation Campus Expansion. From preconstruction to final operational checks, Alteris followed through.”

Christopher Hill, President, Heritage Flight & Aviation

In December 2009 Heritage Aviation, a General Aviation Facility at the Burlington International Airport, became the first aviation facility in the US to have an on-site wind turbine.  Heritage contracted Alteris Renewables to install the Northwind 100. Along with this project was the installation of a solar electric and solar domestic hot water system on their building. The renewable energy installations are part of Heritage Aviation’s process to qualify their new office and hangar facilities for LEED certification.
