Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Beloit College has made major renovations on two of its special interest houses for students in the summer of 2013. Major envelope enhancements were done in both houses, including adding insulation to walls and attics, new thermal pane windows installed in one of the two houses, new siding for both houses, and a new white rubber roof on a section of one of the houses. Neither of these major renovations were considered for LEED or any other building design standards/guidelines.
