Let me help you design and create an energy-efficient, eco-friendly home so you can reduce your environmental impact. When building or remodeling your home, look for materials that are made from sustainable sources. Using recycled material for insulation or other home components will help reduce your carbon footprint.

Investing in high-quality insulation will result in more comfortable temperatures throughout the year. Using ecofriendly recycled materials which provide superior energy efficiency will help reduce your energy bills.

Solar panels provide clean energy and also save money on your electric bills; the installation cost may be expensive, but the long-term savings are worth it.

Invest in a high-efficiency furnace and ensure ductwork is adequately sealed. A Heat Recovery Ventilator helps to reduce air leakage while allowing fresh air into your home. High-quality doors and windows are designed to keep the heat in during winter and out during summer. Use insulated glass windows which help moderate temperature throughout the year and lower energy bills, while still allowing natural light into your home; alternately, Tilt & Turn, storm windows or exterior shutters. Strategically place windows and skylights to avoid artificial lighting, and reflective materials on walls and ceilings to increase the natural light in your home. If your home doesn’t get enough natural light, add solar tubes to help bring daylight into rooms. All ways to help lower energy bills.

Energy efficiency is an integral part of creating a sustainable home.

I can help you design your custom home or business to suit your needs.
