Imagine that you had recognized the need to treat the world and its resources as finite & irreplaceable when oil still cost $1 a barrel.
That is what we did…
We have been building green and installing sustainable systems for over 30 years–long before it was popular; our clients are very pleased with their home or system and all of our systems are still working–even after years of operation! We are obsessive about quality, durability and utility. We focus on custom design/build in new construction, remodeling and all our systems. We build to strive for LEED Platinum standards in every new & remodeled home.
Sustainable Building & Remodeling
We specialize in sustainable building for new construction including adobe, rammed earth construction as well as other more traditional building methods working with design/build practices that provide you with the most energy efficient, sustainable home possible.
Contact us today so we can start building your sustainable dream home! We also do remodeling of existing homes to bring sustainable, environmental friendly, energy efficient living to your home. We offer a free consultation to walk through your home, analyze your needs, recommend which systems should be in place first or which you can postpone and provide you with a plan based on your budget that will give you the most for your money.
Energy Efficient Air Conditioning
In New Mexico, keeping cool is a necessity during our warm months. With the days hotter than some of our best green chile you’ll want to keep cool while saving money and energy. The best way to do that is with an AIR2O High Efficiency Air Conditioner that delivers air 50% colder than a standard evaporative cooler. It also provides 80% reduction in energy consumption, superior air quality, low maintenance and environmentally friendly! It qualifies for the El Paso Electric’s EPESaver™ High Efficiency Cooling Program which is money right back in your pocket!
Solar Water Heating: Using the Sun’s Energy To Heat Your Water
Sun and Earth are distributors of ezinc Solar Water Heaters. During the day, a heat transfer liquid is heated in the panel, then circulates into a heat transfer coil inside the tank on the roof. As the liquid transfers heat to the water, the liquid cools and circulates back into the panel to be heated again. Now that’s hot water! What better way to save money than to use the Sun to heat your water! Other systems are available as well. We help you decide what’s best for you!
Sustainable Roof Coating
Sustainable Roof coating can save you money while helping the environment. A recent statement made by Secretary of Energy Steven Chu encouraged painting roofs white as an effective tool in reducing energy use from air conditioning. The advantages are so much more! With a sustainable roof your energy bill will be lower; your roof will last longer and require less maintenance than a traditional roof. Your roof will no longer be a heat collection source but will be a reflective tool to help your home stay cool.
I am interested in your AIR2O product. I have an 1800 sf older home in Albuquerque that has evaporative cooling now. I am interested in a ball park cost for replacing my existing unit with your product. My current system is side mounted to the house about 9 feet above the ground. This would be a straightforward swap of one unit for another with the possibility that the platform the unit sits on might need to be enlarged. Access is 60 or so feet down a side property line – the access walkway is 5 feet wide with an additional 7 or so feet of landscaping off to the side. Thanks, Bill
William,
Thanks for your interest in the AIR2O product. The AIR2O is designed to be ground mounted or roof mounted, however we have just done one that is on a platform off the ground. It would seem from the info provided that the AIR2O would be a good option for you. I will send you more info via regular email with attachments and pricing for you to review. Thanks!
