We can also help you decide if options such as solar, ground source heat pumps, instantaneous hot water, or heat recovery ventilators are right for your property.
Setting Goals
We help make choices for varying degrees of efficiency and environmental impact according to budget.
Planning
We work with our trusted designers and general contractors to plan and specify the assembly and products to be used ranging from specific efficient coatings for windows, selection and sizing of high performance HVAC equipment and a special focus on the thermal envelope of the home.
Execution
We work with you and the builder to ensure that the envelope will be assembled with care and ensure that it reaches the minimum standard set. Air barrier testing, insulation and by-pass inspection and pre-drywall inspection, with careful planning will reach the target.
