Did you know that windows can account for as much as 25 percent of energy loss in your home? That light colored materials on the external walls and roof can reduce cooling requirements by up to 15 percent? That a well-sealed thermal envelope can reduce energy costs by as much as 50 percent? We do. And we bring that knowledge to every home we build. For us, every home is a green home.
But beyond the common knowledge that can make every home greener, we also specialize in several sustainable building techniques that we can use to reduce your energy costs and your environmental footprint.
Some of the techniques we use include:
- Solar PV
- Solar thermal
- Geothermal
- Thermal envelope
- SIPs
- Hers score
- High performance insulation
You may have concerns that these energy-saving options add complication to your construction job. Or that they cost more to implement than you would reap in savings. That’s not necessarily the case. We’d love to talk to you about some of the more sustainable home-building options—we think you’ll be surprised. We also have extensive experience helping our clients navigate through municipal energy requirements. If you choose to go green, we’ll help you do it right, cost-effectively and with minimal hassle.
We’ve been involved with several sustainability projects around Boulder County.
