Building Performance Improvement
A home’s environmental impact can be significant. We offer a variety of services that can mitigate your home’s carbon footprint both as it is built or remodeled, and for many years ahead.
Solar & Storage
Advances in solar panel technology, along with regulatory incentives, make turning your home into a mini energy plant more feasible than ever before. Learn how we can help you harness the sun’s power to bring clean energy to your home.
Heating & Cooling
Heat pump heating and cooling systems offer state-of-the-art, highly efficient technology for home environment regulation. By transferring heat from one place to another, heat pumps work effectively without using fossil fuels.
Water Heating
Heating water consumes an outsized portion of our home’s energy usage, given the number of appliances in the home requiring hot water. Heat pump water heaters work with tremendous efficiency, providing significant reductions in energy consumption, and lower environmental impact.
Water Conservation
Considering the sheer quantity of water-consuming and -providing appliances and fixtures in our homes, conserving water is an important design consideration. Touchless faucets and low-water toilets can help – but greywater irrigation and rainwater cisterns provide additional opportunities for meaningful impacts.
Insulation
Many homes are woefully under-insulated – some older homes may have no insulation at all. Upgrading your home’s insulation – or carefully planning the insulation of your new construction – can have an outsized impact on your home’s energy efficiency. From roll-down, to blown-in to rigid insulation, we can guide you to the selections that best fit your design and budget.
Smart Home Automation
Did you know that small sensors installed on your windows can automatically operate your home’s window coverings to regulate thermal heat gain? Current smart home technologies can play an integral role in lowering energy costs – and your home’s carbon footprint.
