Shelburne Museum

Shelburne, VT

Shelburne Museum is the largest art and history museum in northern New England and Vermont's foremost public resource for the visual arts, holding a nationally important collection of more than 100,000 objects across 39 buildings on a 45-acre campus. Founded in 1947 by collector Electra Havemeyer Webb, the Museum's renowned holdings include Impressionist masterworks by Cassatt, Degas, Manet, and Monet in the Electra Havemeyer Webb Memorial Building, as well as significant American landscape paintings, folk art, and decorative arts. The Museum is committed to preserving and making its exceptional collections broadly accessible while fulfilling the legacy of its visionary founder.

A 2026 FCI Technical Assistance Grant will support engineering construction documents, energy modeling, and baseline tracking infrastructure for replacement of the aging HVAC system at the Electra Havemeyer Webb Memorial Building. The project will advance design from concept through schematic and construction phases, evaluate equipment options based on energy performance and lifecycle cost, and establish Energy Star Portfolio Manager tracking—providing the technical foundation for a capital campaign to implement a high-efficiency, low-emissions climate system.
