About the author

I am a journeyman carpenter and cabinetmaker.

Over the past 35 years I have built many custom homes and renovated many many more.

Initially my efforts went into construction that took into account passive solar heat which was the primary medium at the time.

In recent years I have explored combining passive solar through site locating with actual physical solar arrays and wind turbines. These, combined with the latest in insulation and wrap will make homes that are not only energy efficient, but energy producers which in some cases send power BACK into the grid!

This results in significant energy dollar savings for the homeowner and rapidly offsets any setup additional costs involved.
