Interested in a #DeepEnergyRetrofit? Take time and consideration in the design and planning of construction to save time, money, #energy, #carbon, and headaches in the future. Check out our design and planning lessons learned: 4egreenhomes.medium.com/deep-energy-re… #SmartSustainableResilient

After planning for a #DeepEnergyRetrofit you should have a clearly defined scope of work; confirmation of permitting requirements; energy, cost, and #CarbonSavings; and a budget. Check out our design and planning lessons learned: 4egreenhomes.medium.com/deep-energy-re… #SmartSustainableResilient
