Going Green: Design and Performance Metrics

Join Paul Eldrenkamp, founder and owner of Byggmeister, Inc., a Boston-area award-winning residential design/build remodeling company founded in 1984 that specializes in high-performance renovations. He has served on the boards of the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association, the Green Decade Coalition/Newton, and the Newton Historical Society, among others. Paul speaks often at construction conferences around the country and is a frequent contributor to the Journal of Light Construction.

Join Paul and Remodelers Advantage president, Victoria Downing, as they discuss:

• How to incorporate two metrics into your design and planning services that Byggmeister has found are very useful from design, production, and marketing points of view - BTU per square foot per year (BTU/sq/yr) calculations and HERS (Home Energy Rating System) scores.
• How homeowners are going to be more and more concerned about household energy consumption, not just hearing and cooling loads but lighting and appliance demands as energy costs rise and climate concerns grow.
• How to view renovations not just as cosmetic upgrades but also as opportunities to make dramatic performance improvements.
• How contractors who have a good, clear way of keeping score -- of quantifying precisely to what extent they're able to reduce the energy demands of the houses they work on -- will have a competitive advantage over those who sell "green" but can deliver only warm fuzzies rather than hard numbers.
