What Ashland homes need
Ashland has older homes near downtown, neighborhoods of mid-century and newer colonials, and townhomes near the commuter rail station.
Ashland grew along the Sudbury River and the railroad, with older homes near downtown and Ashland State Park, and many newer neighborhoods built since the 1980s. Split-levels and colonials from that era often have thin attic insulation and leaky rim joists.
Middlesex County's older cities have many homes with balloon framing and empty walls, while its suburbs have large attics and bonus rooms that leak air.

Climate zone 5A targets

Many Massachusetts towns have adopted the Stretch Energy Code or the Specialized Opt-in Code, which raise insulation and air-sealing requirements for new construction and major renovations.
