Beyond Efficiency is highly motivated to solve the nation’s housing crisis and planet’s climate crisis through our technical work, but the traditional building consulting model isn’t going to cut...
What if every project we worked on committed to five things? "
This is the question I asked Katy while BARTing back from a meeting recently. The discussion that ensued was very nerdy and distracted us to the point where we ended on the wrong line. But this is what we decided on:
- 1. QII (Quality Insulation Installation)
- 2. Exterior insulation for metal framed buildings
- 3. No non-thermally broken metal windows… or frankly, no metal windows at all
- 4. Under slab and slab-edge insulation
- 5. Set an air tightness goal and follow-up with testing
Why these five? What about high efficiency boilers or low-VOC carpets? Check our next blogs for more information and a casual defence of this wish list.
