Take a look at this renovated 1960's ski chalet located in East Vail! We worked with Seth Bossung from Intention Architecture, providing Alpen Tyrol 6 series windows on this fantastic mountain getaway.

Seth also shared a few industry trends he has been observing. "In terms of emerging trends, it is becoming increasingly important that we look at the overall carbon footprint of the buildings we create and occupy - looking at reducing energy use, eliminating fossil fuel consumption, and carefully considering embodied carbon within materials are of critical importance in creating a responsible built environment. I have been seeing some really interesting things in the prefabricated (or partially prefabricated) building world, which reduces on-site labor and construction time." —Seth

Sometimes homes are built in places with noises we can’t control. Whether it’s a plane overhead, a train nearby, or a loud neighbor who hosts garage band practices. If you find that there are noises you’d like to keep in or out from your sanctuary of a home, the insulation you use is quite important. The cotton-candy looking stuff simply won’t do. You need something more durable, more sustainable, more sound-blocking, and all around so much more.

Let’s take a quick look at why mineral wool is so amazing, head over to our blog for more. Link in bio!

We started working with Steve and Morgan over at Shape Architecture back in 2014, and it's been a fun ride. They keep pushing the limits, advancing techniques, and rolling out Passive House projects from single-family to mixed-use buildings.
.
.
Today, we feature one of their Rocky Mountain projects. "We're really excited about our passive house coming out of the ground in Nederland, and AE has been instrumental in helping select and detail the window package. The house responds to both optimal passive solar orientation and mountain views, with a 45° inflection at the center of the house." These homeowners will have impressive views of Indian Peaks and the Eldora Ski area. AE is providing Alpen's PHI certified Tyrol PH+ series windows and doors, making this house incredibly comfortable and energy-efficient. Not an easy feat at 8500' in windy Nederland!
.

We look forward to seeing these units installed soon. Follow our friends at @shape_architect.

A new level of energy recovery is achieved with the CERV2's super-efficient inverter drive heat pump technology and surpasses traditional ERV/HRV systems. On the coldest day of the year, when you're staying comfortable in your airtight home, is when you need fresh air the most – the CERV2 has no low-temperature operation restrictions, so the fresh air can keep flowing. Home occupants in warm/humid climates will appreciate the CERV2's ability to supply cool, dehumidified fresh air to the house. If that isn't enough, the CERV2's unique re-circulation mode provides additional conditioning when fresh air is not needed, helping improve comfort in the home.
.
.
The CERV2's wifi integration opens up a world of ventilation control and convenience. Control your CERV2 from anywhere, access archived data, receive system notifications and updates, read your home health reports, and more!
.
.
The CERV2 measures indoor air quality with built-in C02 and VOC (volatile organic compound) sensors and automatically maintains excellent air quality in your home. Your family's health is too important for guesswork.
.
.
Reach out if you have questions, we would be happy to break down the details of a CERV2 system with you.
