Brian has extensive knowledge of types of materials that are energy efficient and cost effective as well as healthful to you and the environment.

Energy efficiency.
Our natural resources are becoming more precious. Home owners are starting to realize to live in a healthy environment takes decisions in what we put in our homes. More and more, energy codes are obsessed with energy use, encouraging well insulated closed boxes holding in toxic off-gassing instead of focusing on a breathing house where air is exchanged and thermal comfort is considered.
