Forget the fluorescents! Go for LED technology, it's the way of the future. Think you could enjoy watching the electric meter run backward for a change? We are committed to raising environmental awareness and helping you to implement the right technology and architectural details that will make your project energy efficient, with as low a carbon footprint as possible. During the planning process we will review all aspects of integrating energy saving elements, from architectural construction and lighting, to insulation and water conservation. We want your home to be beautiful, comfortable and energy efficient. Much of California's historical architecture was created to address the climate here, from passive ventilation construction to thick adobe walls, traditional building techniques and styles were designed to maintain comfortable interior temperatures year round with minimal air conditioning or heating. Because there is such a new consciousness about the environmental principles that need to be integrated into all new and rebuilt construction in California, we can help you plan for a project that will stand the test of time. We are great at clarifying what will work for your project and what will be an inefficient use of resources. We can help you understand the principles of reduce reuse and recycle and how they can be integrated into your home. Many upgrades can qualify for tax credits. We also can help you understand solar technology and how to use it to provide significant energy savings as well as install them in an visually unobtrusive way. We also do exterior landscaping that will be beautiful and water saving. Well thought out exterior architectural elements and details can save energy, look great and add to your lifestyle. |
