Our passion at Energetechs is ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN and construction. The first thing that we always recommend to our clients is that they put as much into improving the efficiency of the building envelope as they possibly can, thereby reducing the amount of energy required. A big factor in that equation is reducing the size of proposed buildings wherever possible.
Next we recommend that they install the most efficient equipment, fixtures, and appliances they can find, further reducing the energy demand of the building. Finally, once the amount of energy needed is brought down as far as possible, we recommend that they consider supplying the remainder with renewable energy.
So, if you’re considering installing a solar power system, first ask yourself if there are ways that you can reduce the amount of energy that you need. We can help by CONSULTING on the design of new buildings and remodels, or by performing an ENERGY AUDIT on an existing building.
