Remodeling is an Opportunity to Explore Green Options
Remodeling is a time when you will be selecting myriad products and systems for your home. It is a perfect time to consider ways to improve the health, energy efficiency, water efficiency, and durability – of your entire home. We can offer you suggestions, based on our experience, on green building materials or systems that are appropriate for your home.
If you are considering a partial remodel don’t forget about the rest of your home. Typically during a remodel, walls are opened up, ceilings are lofted or new rooms added on. As a part of our remodeling process, we conduct a building performance assessment of your home. We assess the energy efficiency, comfort and health of your home. Based on what we find, we will suggest how to make your home tighter, better insulated, heated with a smaller, more efficient furnace, protected from moisture build-up, and free of toxic gas emissions. We will decide together with you which options to implement. When the remodel is complete, we will retest your home to ensure that the improvements are working as anticipated – that we have delivered a home that is more energy efficient, comfortable and healthy than it was before we started the project.
