Water Conservation

Considering the sheer quantity of water-consuming and -providing appliances and fixtures in our homes, conserving water is an important design consideration. Touchless faucets and low-water toilets can help – but greywater irrigation and rainwater cisterns provide additional opportunities for meaningful impacts.

Insulation

Many homes are woefully under-insulated – some older homes may have no insulation at all. Upgrading your home's insulation – or carefully planning the insulation of your new construction – can have an outsized impact on your home’s energy efficiency. From roll-down, to blown-in to rigid insulation, we can guide you to the selections that best fit your design and budget.
