Typically modern homes are well built and reasonably efficient, but they can all work better. New insight, technology and finance applied to home improvement can have multiple benefits to the homeowner. You will improve your quality of life while you lower overhead including utilities, insurance and maintenance bills. Your home will require less of your time and be secure; it will be a healthy and productive place to live. And you will improve your community and planet at the same time.
With your help we hope our Learning Center will support an in-depth understanding of how homes work and how to improve them.
Our mission, methods, and philosophy are summarized under the headings: Getting the Future You Want—By Design, Six-Step Decision Model for Better Home Improvement Decisions, Our Homes as Dynamic Systems, Earth Metabolics: Green Accounting, and Continuous Improvement of Our Homes and Communities.
The index on the left side of the web page is intended to help you find stuff quickly. The narrative section is in the middle. Graphics will be found on the right.
This Learning Center, like building science, is a work in progress. We’re all in this together. If you have suggestions for improvements please e-mail John Lambie jlambie@dwellgreen.com.
The four Dwellgreen goals: Zero Energy, Watershed Balance, Fortified Home and, Quality Of Life guide our strategy for high performance home improvement. These four goals provide verifiable multiple benefits as an integrated whole. It is in the combined effect that the home owner gets the biggest “bang for the buck” and where savings more than cover the costs of investment. You can access detailed information on the above four categories by clicking through the navigation links on the left tool bar. We hope you find this information beneficial as you plan your home improvement projects.
