Best Time To Sell It: Before You Buy It

When's the best time to sell your Green Renovation?    ASAP of course.    I was surprised when i counted them up,  We've sold 6 of our first 12 Green Renovations before they were finished.   (The project on Scott Avenue that we've been talking about & showing on the Tuesday Webinars has been sold during the whole process.)    These pre-sales have been a real blessing ... But now we're moving to the next level ... Selling them before we even buy them. We are prototyping the process right now and of course we share everything we learn right here...Continue Reading!

Complex or Simple? You Choose

I've spent the week at the annual ACI Convention (Affordable Comfort Institute) in San Francisco.  A group of friends were considering "Our biggest take-away" from the meetings.    I said I have never seen so much agreement that we need to simplify this new Home Performance Industry or it will flounder before it even gets started.   I heard variations of that sentiment from several Utility and Government & Program leaders.

Energy: Conserve It, Or Capture It?

I'm sure you've noticed there are two poles of belief about what's important in Residential Energy Conservation ... Basically Conservation or Renewables.   The Conservation Camp says, "Design it right, Build it tight, Vent it right, Insulate the heck out of it, and your heating and cooling costs will be so low that you wont really need Renewables (solar, wind, etc).     This is the mantra of most Home Performance groups and it makes a lot of sense ... especially in new construction.   It's a little more difficult to go "all the way" in retrofit situations where the...Continue Reading!
