Sustainable Construction

Before you design a new home or remodel an existing one, consider investing in energy efficiency. You’ll save energy and money, and your home will be more comfortable and durable. The planning process is also a good time to look into a renewable energy system that can provide electricity, water heating, or space heating and cooling.

In an existing house, the first step is to conduct a home energy assessment (sometimes referred to as an energy audit) to find out how your home uses energy and determine the best ways to cut energy use and costs.

Are you aware, the United States outperformed only three of the world’s largest economies on energy efficiency, ahead of only Russia, Brazil and Mexico. Germany tops the list of 2014. Additionally, home energy bills are the single most expense homeowners have, behind their mortgage and taxes.

As a member of the A.E.E. Association of Energy Engineers, Colonial Crafters, Inc. strongly believes in building smarter and energy efficient. Because “the cheapest energy is the energy you don’t have to produce in the first place.”
