We all know installing solar panels can slash utility bills, but let’s be real—they’re 💰 pricey to install. And if you’re a renter or live in an apartment, then you are just out of luck.

That’s changing with community ☀️ solar projects. These setups install solar panels offsite and funnel the energy to the community, so more people can tap into tax credits and lower energy costs.

Good for the planet, great for your wallet, and finally, a 🙌 win for those of us who don’t own the roof!

And fun fact: these Community Solar projects were started in 💚 Colorado. Plus, our very own Craig has been on multiple teams installing solar gardens around our state just a few years back.

If you are designing a 🏡 home for retirement, consider making it a Passive House! This style of construction is the perfect fit for retirement living, offering:

✅ Consistent Comfort: Airtight, insulated, high-performance windows help keep temperatures stable year-round.

✅ Fresh, Healthy Air: A balanced ventilation system (ERV/HRV) ensures continuous fresh air.

✅ Ultra-Low Energy Bills: With Passive House design and construction, your home uses up to 90% less energy for conditioning, keeping costs down, which is especially important if you are on a fixed income.

✅ Low-Maintenance Living: High Performance design and construction means fewer repairs, durable materials built to last and it is airtight = less dust.

✅ Resilience & Backup Power Potential: Even in a power outage, your home stays comfortable longer thanks to superior energy efficiency.

Passive House design isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about creating a healthier, more comfortable, and stress-free home for the long run.

Is your future home designed with comfort and efficiency in mind? Let’s talk! ⬇️

Indoor 🌫️ air quality in our homes is 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor air—and sometimes 100 times worse. It’s such a big issue that the indoor air quality industry is worth $10 billion.

One major source of pollution can be the very 🛋️ furnishings inside our homes. Cabinets often contain formaldehyde, couches and carpets off-gas chemicals, and even that "new car smell" people love is actually 🤢 toxic off-gassing.

Passive House design prioritizes healthy indoor air by incorporating ventilation. 🌬️ A well-sealed, well-ventilated home means better air quality.

Have you ever thought about how your home`s design and furnishing choices impact the air you breathe?

Ever wonder why 30–60% 💧 humidity is the magic zone for your home? The Sterling Chart, developed in 1986, shows that when humidity dips too low or climbs too high, our health takes a hit.

When humidity drops too low, it can lead to respiratory issues, asthma flare-ups, and increased spread of bacteria and viruses. On the flip side, high humidity invites mold, dust mites, and fungus—🦠 all things you don’t want in your home.

Passive House design helps you stay in that sweet spot year-round. With airtight construction and balanced ventilation, you get consistently healthy, comfortable indoor air—no matter the 🌻 season.
