About
I have worked for 23+ years as an HVAC engineer and I am a licensed Professional Engineer. I love buildings. I love the planet we live on. I believe it is critical that stop exploiting, wasting, destroying nature and our natural resources. We humans are a small part of the system. And we have a disproportionately high impact on it. Unfortunately this impact is mostly negative.
We are the only species that destroys what it needs to survive: soil, water, air
Our homes are THE major contributor to greenhouse emissions. The carbon footprint of our homes is huge! The good news is, that the technology and the materials exist, and are becoming more widely available and affordable to reduce energy usage, increase efficiency, provide healthy green homes for us to live in.
We are using a lot of water and are mostly not aware of it. That is why I have included a category for water conservation.
If you want to:
- build a new green home or an addition
- conserve water
- live green and healthy
- don’ know where to start
- want to make a difference
Then please visit frequently and learn, teach, share.
On a selfish level, this allows me to combine my interest in buildings with my knowledge of how buildings work and with my passion for protecting the environment. And I get to share what I know and learn with you.
This site is an interactive site where you can ask and answer questions, make comments, tell your stories. We all know something that others do not and we can learn from each other.
Thanks for stopping by! Please stay a while. Learn something, teach us something.
This site is for all of you who
- are passionate about protecting, preserving, maintaining, cleaning the environment
- are concerned about global warming and see the building sector as a big component in reducing green house emissions
- want to build a new green home
- love the home they currently live in and want to renovate all or some of it to make it green
- wish to live and raise their children in comfortable, healthy, low-energy homes
- are interested in the construction of green homes
The question is not “why live in a green home?”
The question is:
WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A GREEN HOME?

Congratulations!
Climate change and rapidly rising energy costs make it necessary to think green. Our homes should be “Net Zero Green Homes”. The technology is here today to get this done with little investment for the long range benfits.
