We had a chance to go over the energy modeling results yesterday morning with Anderson Hinds and Manny Neves of Hardcore Renos at their job site; it was authentic!
When they finally climbed out of the rain-drenched trenches, we got down to work, talking about various upgrade scenarios that will see their client cut energy consumption by nearly a quarter. They realise that building to code minimum is not where they wan to take their business. These guys get it with their focus on the client.
They want to build durable homes that are attractive, functional, comfortable and an investment that saves the home owner money. They’re investing upfront on science-based advice that makes the tough choices on various upgrades clear as a bell.
Shervin takes Anderson and Manny through some upgrade scenarios that will see the efficiency of this package J house increase by 22% with a few simple changes to the building shell.
The tough technical questions were punctuated by punchy humour and this team of bon vivants clearly loved what they were doing.
