Insights from the yesteryear at Shelter Institute
The mercury just hit 95 degree F outside and our office is cool and comfortable at 70 degrees F no air conditioning just clean, one-time investment of good site planning and super insulation!
Insulation is saving us money in the winter as we heat our building from the frigid temperature out side to a cozy 68 degrees inside but it also makes a tremendous difference in these hot humid days of summer. . . and yes I did say "these hot humid days of summer" and it is only May.
Learn more about designing a home that is easy to heat and cool regardless of the temperature outside in our upcoming Two Week Design Build Class
Since 1974, Shelter Institute has crafted hundreds of timber frames while teaching thousands of students sustainable building practices. From courses and quality tools to custom design-build services, we help you think, build, and live well.
