​Building "green" or sustainable requires so much more than a conservative builder. Incorporating today's many options requires a team of professionals; primarily an architect, an electrical engineer, and a mechanical engineer, spearheaded by a conservative builder.

​

Each member of the team must have a broad knowledge base and be ready to adopt solutions to suit varied situations.



Energy efficiency no longer requires small windows and Dad turning down the thermostat. There are many products and building applications.



A complete system starts with the architect adopting passive solar principles for heat gain and loss, a renewable electricity generation system (with grid back-up). The mechanical engineer provides an extremely low emissions and operating cost system for heating and cooling; such as geothermal. A super tight building envelope and liberal use of insulation bring it all together.
