Green Building Consultant

Project Management

------------------------------- Professional Profile ------------------------------

As a Professional Green Building Consultant, I specialize in sustainable building and design techniques.  I believe the task is to educate the customer and reevaluate building and design needs, keeping in mind a more sustainable plan that uses a common sense approach with locally available resources and renewable energy options.   

Green building is not an exact science but a way of life. Green building developments are project specific and each requires individual consideration for the greatest environmental and energy performance.

Product Development :

I have developed and patented a high efficiency ventilation system for use in residential and commercial applications. This ventilation system improves the performance of heat pumps and reduces overall energy consumption. This affordable system is easily added to new construction using current technology. Existing structures can benefit from this system with a retrofit plan.
