Here is what one week of total disconnecting from work, devices, and COVID looks like for Todd's family. This backpacking trip was in the Weminuche Wilderness north of Pagosa Springs. The whole family pulled their own weight, even Sammy 🐾 and it was a beautiful adventure powered by wild strawberries and a love for nature. On the drive home, they stopped off to check on a client's new build in Del Norte, CO. Stay tuned for photos and stories from this project later this week.

We made this quick video to show clients the brilliant design behind the tilt and glide doors. No more trying to explain this operational design over the phone; visuals are so much better. Let us know if you have further questions.

More on this Kirsch-Stroupe Build:
Zane Bishop of Bishop Built has been an integral part of this project and stepped up to the plate! Zane took Emu’s Passive House Training Class, which meant that not only was this a great construction plan for the home, but it is a sustainable one as well. This is huge for the Granby/Winter Park area as the @bishopbuilt team raised the bar in what local contractors can, and do, offer!

Big shout-out as well—this project is a part of Emu’s Pilot Program!

You will see us at the 27th annual Metro Denver Green Homes Tour on Saturday, Oct 2 in Golden! This is one of our favorite events and we are excited to see this back on the calendar for 2021.

Many of these homes started out as modest tract homes similar to much of the metro area’s housing stock. Through changes over time - from replacing lightbulbs to total remodelling - their owners made them more efficient and less expensive to heat, cool and light. In many cases, the initial modest changes inspired owners to do more – from adding rooftop solar PV to eliminating natural gas entirely. The tour also showcases some stunning new homes in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

What do you get when you cross motivated homeowners with sustainable builders and an interest in Passive House design? This special combination is the bones for a truly special residential project in Tabernash, CO, near Winter Park for the Kirsch-Stroupe Residence. This project is a collaboration between Matt Kirsch and Kerri Stroupe, Bishop Built, and other Passive House Partners. The results so far are amazing!
.
As we feature this build in this month's blog post, note the house is still in process. (We can’t wait to see the final product!) However, because it’s in process, we can see so much of the careful work being done to make this house as sustainable as possible with Passive House best practices. Scroll through to see the progress.

Our friends at @emubldgscience shared this nifty $50 discount code with us to pass along >> EMUAE2021 Taking time away from your projects can be a real challenge. However, we highly recommend Passive House training and specifically the training by our local colleagues at EMU. Next classes: Sept 30 (online) and Nov 17 (in-person)—link in bio.
