Call before you Build

If you are looking for the Energy Star label, Tax Incetives, Energy Mortgage Qualifications, or just looking to build a High Performance Building. Call me before you break ground.

I will go over your plans and enter the specifics into Rem/Rate, the RESNET authorized HERS rating software. This will give us a Projected Rating of the building that will tell us what Energy related goals are being met. I can then model different changes, such as window size, shading, orientation, insulation levels, HVAC consideration, just to name a few. This will tell us how the building rates energy-wise, before you break ground and can still make changes on paper. I will then visit the site durring construction to verify that work is being done has it should. When the finish work is done, I will do the finsl testing to confirm the Energy Rating to get you the incentives you are looking for.

Here is a link to Energy Star that will give you some Builders Guidlines and Resources.
