With code updates on the horizon (Title 24 2019 takes effect January 1, 2020), many of our clients are beginning to focus on how to design to the new “Zero Net Energy” (ZNE) requirements for residential construction.
Shedding Some (LED) Light on Operating Costs
We’re a fairly handy crew here at In Balance, so when Mike Horgan – licensed contractor and Passive House consultant – recently joined our ranks, we put him right to work … on our own office. While our work spaces enjoy plenty of daylight, on cloudy winter days and toward the back of the office, we can use a little boost. Recently, some of the lamps finally died, so we decided to replace them (and the rest of our fixtures) with LEDs.

Please join us in welcoming Mike Horgan to the In Balance Green Consulting team!
Mike is a licensed builder in both California and Massachusetts, as well as a certified Passive House Consultant. No, we’re not launching a construction arm to our firm! Rather, we recognize the need to further bridge the gap between building science and in-the-field implementation, and we are thrilled to have Mike on board for that effort.
