“Remember, it’s always better to reduce the amount of energy a building requires than to look for a new source of energy.”

I tell my clients demand reduction is the best and number one priority. I often see demand reduction as never making it on their list. We provide super insulated thermal envelopes and can reduce the demand of a given home or building by 50% to 70% as common practice. This gain comes from our process alone. If we pay extra attention to windows and doors we can further reduce the demand. Everyone should be heads down focused on demand reduction.

It literally drives me crazy to see smart people install R13 batts or recycled news print into their walls and ceilings and then spend large sums of money on solar or GSHP systems. We all know traditional insulation systems are not sustainable over time. Even the newer homes we test (5 years old) are generally energy pigs and folks are not comfortable. This is easily solved with super insulated homes. Remember, super insulated homes are more energy efficient and more comfortable than a new source of energy.
