When homeowners are looking into βοΈ energy-efficient building or retro-fitting, the first two questions they usually ask are:
π€· Where do I start?
πΈ How much will this cost me?
From years of experience, Todd has succinct advice: keep it simple!
Listen to this clip from an interview with Todd to hear why ‡οΈ

From fables like π The Three Little Pigs to building towers with our 𧱠blocks, we learn from an early age how essential walls can be. In passive house design, the walls work even harder than standard walls, which is why we think about walls a lot here at the AE Building Systems.
For this month`s blog, we focused on designing your wall assembly with passive house principles in mind. Most importantly, how to:
β‘οΈ Keep air out
β‘οΈ Ensure the wall dries to the exterior
β‘οΈ Use continuous insulation
β‘οΈ Take climate into account

πͺ Our very ambitious clients, the Jungclaus family, have been working hard all summer to keep the momentum up on their mountain cabin before winter weather sets in. βοΈ
They are doing everything on this gorgeous mountain project in Alma, CO themselves, including building a yurt to stay in, clearing the land, and building to be energy-efficient. All with a baby in tow! πΆ (Scroll to the end for the family photo!)
It has been a lot of hard work, but those views make it all worth it! To keep them comfortable while enjoying their hard-earned view, they will be using Alpen Zenith 625 windows with Thin Glass Triple.
We are so impressed with the work they have done already, and we will provide more updates soon. π

Today is π‘ National LED Day, and there is much to say about LEDs. They are such a great alternative to other types of lights, but we are highlighting our top favorite things about LED lights:
πββοΈ Unmatched Longevity - Depending on usage, an LED bulb can last over 20 years, making it a cost-effective and durable lighting solution.
β‘ Energy Efficiency βTraditional bulbs only convert 20% of their energy into light, losing 80% to heat. LEDs, on the other hand, convert 80% of their energy to light.
β»οΈ Ecologically Friendly - LEDs do not use any toxic materials and can be recycled.
πͺ Durable Quality - LEDs can be used in all environments because they resist vibration and impact.
βοΈ Design Flexibility - LEDs can be made into almost any shape and color, giving designers a lot of creative license.
When it comes to green building, LEDs are a superhero!

For ποΈ World Architecture Day, we want to spotlight Michael Silbert, an exceptionally talented architect based in Boulder with whom we have worked on a few projects.
Here is a home in the Boulder foothills Michael designed and is especially proud of. This beautiful home is a peaceful oasis of green-energy living. The stats for this home:
- 3,000 sq. ft.
- 4 bedroom
- fully electric
- final HERS rating of 12
- flash-and-fill insulation
- heat pump heating, cooling, and water heating
- 5.32KW PV solar array
- continuous exterior insulation
Michael also noted that he loved working with Alpen windows on this project because "using Alpen windows really allows a home to visually open up to the outdoors due to their superior insulating values."
And the interior photos of this home attest to that. It is an incredible home with a beautiful design and features that will keep its occupants comfortable and happy for decades. Nice work, Michael and team! π
