This project is a 3,400 square foot custom single-family home, designed and built to passive house standards, which are more stringent than those required to obtain LEED certification. This home is eco-friendly and has incredible energy efficiency. It’s energy-saving features include: double-stud super insulated walls, triple-glazed windows and doors, solar power, and geothermal heating and cooling.

Our crew used our Lull telehandler to help bring the Viessman solar thermal collectors, and Rec Alphas 400W solar PV modules, up to the top of this new North Boulder home. We designed and installed the solar thermal radiant heating/domestic hot water system, the solar PV + battery storage system for this client so he could heat and energize his home and power new electric vehicles with clean/renewable resources.

Charming California Ranch Style board and batten home with top of the line solar energy system installed. This model SunPower home is typical of the A-series black on black solar panel array that we have helped hundreds of homeowners across the US install on their roofs. The design, permitting, installation is all taken care of and included in the solar programs we offer, some are $0 down and others utilize generous incentives to save you money from day 1.

Enjoy your deck or patio into the spring and fall just as comfortably as those balmy summer evenings. Using Rainier Screens to create a screened in porch will maintain the temperature within the room as heat outside rises and falls.

This 3,300 square foot, LEED Platinum, Zero Energy Home sits on a hill with a beautiful view of rural Frederick County. The walls are Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC). Deep overhangs and careful siting maximize passive solar heating and natural cooling; all south facing glazing has a very low U value and high solar heat gain coefficient to maximize solar heat in the winter. The East, North and West windows also have a very low U values and low solar heat gain coefficient to reduce cooling load. Systems include 4.3 kW solar, 1.8 kW wind turbine, batteries for backup power, geothermal heating and cooling, Energy recovery ventilation and 3000 gallons of rainwater collection.

This is the energy storage system shown with a Tesla model S. There are 3 Tesla Powerwalls per unit, enough energy for 2 to 3 days use, and they are they are continuously recharged by the Solar array on the roof, so no power has yet required from the grid after 4 months of occupancy by two of the units. The garage is wired for EV charging AND for V2B "bi-directional" charging, where the vehicles will be able to power the building!
