Off-Grid Campus Projects, Glencliff

Benton, New Hampshire | New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services

The Glencliff Home is an off-the-grid assisted living facility whose primary purpose is to provide adults with mental health care. The campus includes residential, care, office, and maintenance spaces and uses a combination of renewable energy systems, including a hydroelectric facility, as well as fossil fuels to supply power and heat. For many years, D&K has provided evaluations and design for upgrades to the facility to address worn-out equipment and changing uses of the facility.
