Green Renovation: Newton, MA  Green Renovation to Existing Home

Green Renovation to Newton home, a typical center entrance colonial, using all environmentally friendly materials and methods. This renovation has much improved the thermal and environmental comfort without being extravagant or without using untested materials or systems. Low VOC, healthy and resource efficient materials were used through out. 

The green renovation's result is a house with at least 50% to 60% reduction in energy costs. The home has a much higher thermal comfortable and has healthy indoor air quality.

Spaces were reconfigured to make the house feel more spacious and well lit. With this strategy an addition, that the client thought was necessary, was not needed.

The project is being featured in the TV show “Green Home Renovation”.
