Natural light, warmth and sensible materials, in homes that are cheaper to run.
Right from when David first started building in the USA, his focus has been on caring for the environment and creating healthy homes.
“Long before eco and green became mainstream I was building homes that took the natural environment into account, from natural lighting and warmth all the way through to installing solar panels. Something I learned is that building environmentally friendly homes doesn’t have to cost more. If you include ongoing costs, it can save you a significant amount of money.”
The Ministry for the Environment recommends these steps for anyone building or renovating.
Insulate your home so it stays warm in winter and cool in summer.
Orient windows so your home gets more sun and natural light.
Choose building materials that don’t use or emit harmful chemicals.
Buy appliances that use energy and water efficiently.
Make sure your home or renovation will meet your needs in the future, as well as now.
