Показать описание
Scott Bergford has spent his entire home building career searching for the balance between energy efficiency and affordability. For nearly 30 years, Scott has worked to build homes that exceed building codes and use little energy to run. He also now retrofits existing homes for greater energy efficiency. Scott feels there is inestimable value in collaboration between new discoveries and proven "traditional" building technologies. Today Scott's homes are certified to the highest ranking of Built Green ® and Energy Star. Scott Homes is one of the few builders in the nation to achieve "Emerald" certification from NAHB Green program.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

There are all of these great ideas from TED conferences that I don't see in my state of Missouri.  (Except for Factor E Farm)  Where are the people on the internet that I can make connections with, to effect positive change?

with the right tech and lifestyle, we could use like 90% less energy than we use today even if we all had electric cars

Make it airtight.
Use latent and IAQ strategies based upon climate.
Insulate based upon dew point risk, not "energy efficiency"
Size equipment aggressively, spec equipment that can run continuously.

Track consumption.

Energy needed for Heating = Heat Losses (Fabric & Ventilation) - Heat Gains (Solar & Casual)
