Building Green means increasing efficiency and decreasing your carbon footprint. Specializing in home energy reduction, we implement the best practices building science has proven to work. We work to increase house performance, and most of all, maximize home comfort.
Solar is the golden seal on a green envelope. Solar panels create energy for your home. We can install solar panels on most roofs in three day's time. There are two types of active solar for homes: thermal -to produce hot water, or photovoltaic -to produce electricity. Both provide energy security for a lifetime.
Weatherization is a skill we profess. The "building envelope" is what separates your home from Chicago area's unforgiving elements. The thermal envelope is your home's jacket, and it keeps you cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. Our work makes sure there are no holes in that jacket. Sealing the envelope tight to keep the outside out, and the conditioned air in, is our specialty.
Heating and AC control the environment of your home. We tune and optimize performance on home mechanicals. Annual service is highly recommended and very affordable. Additionally, we find leaks in your ducts and seal them up. We balance home systems and ensure that all your mechanicals are operating at peak efficiently, and more importantly, at safe levels. With 35 years experience in radiant and forced air systems, we always get it right the first time.
Insulation is the envelope around your home. The building envelope keeps the inside in and the outside out. We use the newest and highest rated spray foam and eco-batt available. Blown cellulose makes good topping and is 80% recycled. Our energy solutions are cost effective and extremely efficient, always following building science parameters and institutional standards. Proper insulation levels will save homeowners between 10-30% on a heating bill every month for the life of their home. Better returns are seldom seen in investment.
Windows and doors are a dynamic barrier in your home's envelope. Weather-stripping doors and caulking windows helps to seal
your home from the elements. We seal every crevasse, and repair
existing hardware. Replacement is often not necessary. We also install storm windows and doors; these increase efficiency and home security.
Home weatherization is a home energy reduction approach of seeing the home as a system of intricately interlocking parts. In many of these parts, our homes are poorly insulated, leak hot air in the winters and allow heat and moisture in during the summers. Air sealing the drafts and insulating the building envelope protects our homes and significantly reduces home energy consumption. Attic to basement, most homes can save 25% off of their utility bills monthly while enjoying increased comfort.
Air sealing is an essential step to weatherization. Warm air escapes through the holes in our attics, basements, and over any insulation we add to our homes. It is critical to provide the home with an air barrier, as well as as thermal barrier, or heat will simply exity through the areas of least resistence. These energy leaks are identified using a blower door and an infrared camera, then caulked and foamed shut. Air sealing is a surprisingly low technology which ends surprisingly high heating bills.
Insulation keeps your family warm, protects the home, and when at proper levels, reduces home energy usage. Insulation puts an end to cold rooms, hot second floors, and needlessly high utility bills.
The return on investment for insulating your home on Main St. is greater than any returns offered by Wall St. Protect your investment, while decreasing your usage.
Solar is a perfect fit on any Chicagoland rooftop. Whether you are looking for a clean and secure way to power your home, or are interested in how it all works. We make solar simple.
1. We visit your home and perform a solation study
2. A free estimate is emailed to you, and
3. The solar panels are delivered to your home and installed
Green Envelope provides full management of the local permit process, Federal tax rebates, and utility inter-connection. Call us and connect your home to the sun.
Photovoltaic
Electricity producing solar panels are a practical way to ensure your home's energy security. A starter system of 1.0 kW, or about six panels, will offset roughly 10% of a home's energy needs. We install the system, secure the permit and help home owners through the rebate process of each solar installation. Solar panels delivered, installed and easy.
Solar thermal
Hot water warmed by the sun, year round, is a very efficient way to collect on the sun's energy. Let the sun bathe you, wash your clothes and dishes. Two solar thermal panels are enough for a family of three. Solar thermal can be engineered to heat a pool or a radiant floor. We have a strong portfolio of ARRA ready, American made solar panels. Whenever possible we chose technologies that are made in Chicago, Illinois and the United States.
Contact us today to learn more about our weatherization packages and our recent energy reduction projects. All estimates and site visits are free of charge and questions are always welcome. Evening and weekend appointments are available. We support and help plan DIY projects.
