If a brand-new green house is on your shopping list, a very interesting company is Zero Energy Design. Based out of Charlestown, Massachusetts, and working all over the world, it’s a company of architects, mechanical engineers, and financial analysts who bring a rigorous cost-benefit approach to the task of green design and building. I heard about them when I saw their design for a 7000-square-foot house being built on Cape Cod (which I will be writing about in an upcoming issue of Design New England). Not only is the building beautiful, but it will produce as much energy as it consumes over any given year.
A new service they offer is a $900 “renovation recommendation” tailored to your home—it includes product recommendations, analyses of various HVAC and photovoltaic installation scenarios, and prescriptions for improved indoor air quality and energy and water conservation.
