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 we change the way we have been exploiting, wasting, destroying nature and our natural resources. We humans are a small part of the system. And we have a disproportinatly 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.
I want to help those of you who want to

build a new green home or an addition
totally renovate the home they live in
improve one step at a time
don’ know where to start
have a general interest in green construction

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.
