“The future ain't what it used to be”. Yogi Berra

Have you ever dreamed of a net-zero home? How about never receiving another utility bill or better yet, PROCURING payments and sharing your alternate generated energy with the local power company? It is not a dream, but a practicing reality. It begins with a designer/contractor who has explored the world of alternative energy and green construction techniques. It becomes achievable when single homes or whole communities leave a very small or even a zero carbon footprint on the Earth.

The future is now

Innovative minds have created numerous ways to construct or remodel homes that efficiently utilize alternative energies: solar, wind and water. The entire process is measured with careful analyses and attention to detail. The topography of the land, placement of the building in relationship to the sun and the prevailing wind patterns present a starting point. Then, affordable and durable earth-friendly building materials must be purchased. Through each phase, precise energy demonstration is a must.  As construction continues, proper insulation and sealing become as important as tapping natural sources of energy.

Cost effective

Computer technicians have designed software that allow green-minded contractors to perfect the productivity of each alternative fuel component before it is incorporated into the design, resulting in maximum energy creation with minimal financial expenditure. There are also tax incentives together with savings generated from very low or non-existent utility bills. To ensure the cost of living does not gradually intrude on projected savings, energy monitoring systems can be installed keeping your home on track for years to come.
