Support Green Building!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for reading and following my blog! I am so busy these days, but all the activity in the office is a good thing for me. I wanted to dedicate a portion of this Blog to the builder I work with at Smithfield Construction, Joe Caldarola. His custom homes as well as subdivision lots have been so successful that I think he deserves some online attention!

Joe has brought green building into the limelight in Durham, NH with his excellent attention to energy saving building techniques and strategies. His company works to build Energy Star homes at the highest level of quality. Smithfield Construction uses geothermal energy which attributes to less fossil fuel burning and more efficient space heating, not to mention a cooler house in the summer.

Joe also works on details such as the arrangement and positioning of the house in order to attain the best level of energy efficiency. Just changing the direction that the majority of the windows face, can help to use what Joe refers to as passive solar energy. Joe?s company works to ensure that the homes he builds are cost efficient and that the price it takes to make a home energy efficient is actually worth it.

You can take a look at some of his previous work including subdivisions like Fitts Farm in and Peterson Woods in Durham, New Hampshire. As well as many other subdivisions, Smithfield construction is also well established in custom design.

Thanks again for checking out my new blog!

  1. I checked out the link that you posted. I had no idea that there were so many things that you could do to save energy in your home. It would be really nice if all home builders had that attention to detail in saving energy in a home.
