Abstract
BPC Green Builders LLC principal Mike Trolle said as green builders, they talk a lot about the energy savings and the environmental value of their sustainable, high-performance approach. Yet there's a difference between green building and just energy-efficiency Working with a green builder means you get the value of their experience in energy efficiency plus their expertise with ventilation, moisture control, and avoiding toxic materials. When it came to time to build his own house, Trolle wanted the best in performance, efficiency, and health. Winner of the 2013 "Lowest HERS Index without Renewable Technologies" in the CT Zero Energy Challenge, Trolle's residence in Danbury Connecticut represents a pinnacle in applied high performance lessons and field work. All of Trolle's efforts in insulation and air sealing paid off when it came to the home's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system.
