Oak Knoll Educational Event

I like to think our business is apart of the local community.  That is why these last two post have been about community and our role.  A great way to get people together on a Saturday, is to offer them free ice cream!  Cold Stone Creamery even!!

Below are pictures of our fee event we put on when we completed our last project.  This home is certified Energy Star, and Earth Advantage Platinum! The advanced building technique we had on display was a "Ducts Inside Strategy."  In this home all the heating and air conditioning ducts, and the furnace are placed within the homes insulated area.  In most homes the ducts and furnace are in the attic where it's the hottest in the summer and the coldest in the winter, basically outside.  This strategy provides a savings of approximately 20-25% in heating and air conditioning bills. That's HUGE!!!!!

All people had to do was walk through the house we just built, look at all the great pictures we took during construction.  Read the explanations, have fun, ask questions, and eat free ice cream.

We had a blower door setup in the back room.  This home had was tested
at 1.5 ACH50.  That is tight!  It also has a fresh air intake and exhaust system
for the whole house.

All the pictures were taken with my Iphone. 

It's packed!

Even kids are learning about high performance building techniques!
Anything for ice cream...

Good times.

There were a lot of options for ice cream.

It couldn't have been a nicer day.
