Our Innovative Green Building Products were chosen for ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Several years ago we were involved in the popular ABC production of "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" in Pinion Arizona. Below are the areas we were assisted:

Building Envelope Insulation: Thermal Control Membrane
Attic Thermal Protection: TCM
Crawlspace Insulation: Thermal Control Membrane
Solar Domestic Hot Water and Space Heating: Assisted in the original designs
Solar Electric: Photovoltaic panel and tracking assembly
Solar Daylighting: Installed five tubular skylights

Part of our crew who helped with the photo voltaic solar system, one of three. Shown here is a Zomeworks tracker which uses the heat from the sun to track it.

The hot air panel built by Garret Yazzi at age 13 to heat the original trailer with heat from the sun.

Construction went 24/7 until finished 140 hours later

The entire project was wrapped Thermal Control Membrane around the perimiter and below the floor in the crawlspace.

A night shot of Thermal Control Membrane installed on the project. This wrap will keep heat out during the summer and heat in during the winter.

The intake and supply for the hot air heater look like this on the inside walls.

Pure spectrum light fills the kitchen and bath with sunlight provided by tubular skylights manufactured by Natural Light Inc. Click here to visit their web site, Tubular skylights bring in pure spectrum light without the heat of a light bulb.

The rest of the home has highly efficient LED lights provided by Alter Air Corporation.
