Home performance renovations can
simultaneously fix a range of common home problems such as excessive energy
bills, drafts, mold, temperature inconsistencies, animal and insect pests, and
wet basements.However, unless these
improvements are considered in the context of the whole house system, they can
exacerbate other existing problems or even create new problems. Anticipating
the array of potential problems and their interactions is complicated.
Complicated home performance
projects are best accomplished by an integrated team of home performance
professionals with complementary skills and a common vision for intensively energy efficient home renovations and
remodels.Beyond Green Construction team members include
carpenters, air sealing and insulation specialists, roofers, plumbers,
electricians, landscapers, LEED-certified architects and designers, and a
licensed project supervisor.
Seamless communication among
team members ensures maximization of home performance improvements.Each alteration is considered in the context
of the whole-house system to evaluate its effect on heat flow, moisture
migration and air quality.Plumbers and
electricians work with air sealing and insulation specialists to seal the
building envelope around pipes and electrical conduit.HVAC systems are properly sized.The
result is a more comfortable, healthier and energy efficient home.
