I came across an interesting article here oriented to homeowners about making sure their new home was energy efficient.

It occurred to me that this is a good reminder for contractors as well. Too frequently we get in a rut of the way we do things without thinking about alternative ways that may be more efficient from and energy perspective.

Comments in the article were about:

• Use Local Materials
• High Ceilings, Skylights, and insulated windows
• Excellent air circulation

Great food for thought and action.
