The Now House hits Boulder
Dec 22nd, 2007 by sorbe
Are you caught up in the emerging market of home makeovers?
A group in Canada called the Now House has put together a plan to refurbish existing homes. Their goal is to retrofit homes to generate more energy than they consume. As part of that plan, the thermal envelope of the house will be tightened up to enhance the house’s efficiency.
Although the Now House project is touring Canada. What a great idea for Boulder. One of the most sustainable renovation projects could be yours???
With the onset of the New Year, the City of Boulder will be implementing it’s new Green Points Program as of January 2nd 2008. The program is much more inline with the USGBC, LEED rating program. Given it is a step in a positive direction, be prepared for some additional work. Embrace the process as it can be as enjoyable as the competed project.
