Local Knowledge About Energy Conserving Design

Energy conserving design has been shown to produce buildings with low energy costs, reduced maintenance, and superior comfort. Whether you are designing the home of your dreams or remodeling your present home, energy conserving design offers a great way to add comfort, economy and value. In addition, present and future environmental imperatives offer an opportunity to transform old ideas of “architecture” into “ecotecture” based on energy performance, natural dynamics, healthy materials, biological principles, human ergonomics and other more far-reaching considerations.
