🌟For the 5th time since 2017 we have been awarded the Housing Innovation Award by the US Dept of @Energy. This home was completed over a year ago so we've had the opportunity to collect good data on its performance and we have not been disappointed! #healthyhome #ZERH #IAQ

-- Twitter showing me new tweets "based on tweets I've liked". Based on those new tweets I'd say... If you have to use force and be nasty to get people to join your "cause" bc its "important", I'm afraid you might be doing it wrong...

Amazing how easy it can be to retrofit existing buildings with high performance glass for huge improvements in comfort and efficiency. Ask me how! We can help!
We recently retrofitted WinSert in a large-scale commercial building in the UN Plaza. The goal was to help them reduce their energy costs and create a more comfortable space for the occupants. n the first photo, on the left is the untouched windows and on the right is WinSert.

For the first time at #bscamp we have ventilation! A lot of work done to the hvac system to mitigate risk here this week. Notice the DIY air filtration in the background as an added bonus.

What is a new home if it is not healthy for your family? We quit cleaning our new homes with toxic chemicals years ago and include @BranchBasics for all our new home owners. I talked to Marilee a few years ago and decided they were a perfect fit for for our #healthyhomes

How important is window performance in a new home? Can you imagine living in a space with this much glass and not having good windows? These monster @AlpenHPP ZR6 windows will make a huge difference in the comfort and efficiency of this space. 👋Let me quote you some windows! 👋

This is not your typical framing job. The framers are installing the open ceiling joists which will be forever visible from the main floor. How sweet is that yellow pine? This home will have a rustic feel of a log… instagram.com/p/CDOcPT1gb5l/…
