This was a great week for us, winning an award for 'best green residential renovation' in the state of Virginia, being interviewed by the local television station, and by the local newspaper. The project was a 1890's era farmhouse that we were able to update and make very energy efficient. The energy model was predicting a 40% savings, the homeowners have reported a 60% actual energy savings.

Congratulations, Charles! That's great publicity. What were some of the key changes/upgrades you made in the home?
