The Tyler, WinnDevelopment’s 70-unit project inside a former high school building, was recognized by the Green Building Council and Novogradic “for its innovative approach using state and federal historic tax credits to incorporate the industry’s strictest standard for energy performance in a residential historic adaptive reuse project,” the release said. According to the release, The Tyler is expected to use 20 percent less energy than new Energy Star construction, and also avoided “18,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions” by reusing the former school. The Tyler, which is managed by WinnResidential, opened in October 2020, the release said, and had been vacant for almost 21 years after being used as the town’s high school. The “academic core” of the building now houses 67 one-bedroom units and three two-bedroom units, available for a range of incomes, the release said.
