Technical support is now
available in Greensburg from
the U.S. Department of
Energy to provide residents
of Greensburg with
assistance related to the
energy efficient rebuilding
of their homes. DOE has
asked NREL and two Building
America teams, BSC and
IBACOS to work directly with
the city, homeowners,
builders, subcontractors and
other local groups and
agencies to assist in the
design and construction of
homes with higher levels of
energy efficiency levels
than a basic code complying
home. Energy efficient homes
cost less to own and operate
than standard homes and
improve overall housing
affordability and
durability. Building
Science Corporation (BSC)
will be providing a series
of onsite workshops to
discuss construction details
for affordable, efficient
homes. The workshops will
provide information on
affordable, durable and
energy-efficient house
construction to support
builders and residents
re-building homes in
Greensburg. Interested
builders, building
officials, and local and
state organizations are
encouraged to attend. For
more information about this
free seminar series follow
this link or contact
Alex Lukachko (BSC) at
978.589.5100.
In addition to the free
workshop series provided by
BSC, Duncan Prahl, an
architect, and John Holton,
an architect and engineer,
will be available in
Greensburg on a regular
basis over the next 8 months
to provide onsite support.
Duncan and John come to us
from IBACOS, a company that
has been working for DOE and
NREL through the Building
America Program to develop
and implement cost effective
energy efficient building
techniques across the US.
They will be setting up
their office in the
temporary buildings on Oak
St. Duncan and John can be
reached at 620-210-0281, or
via email at
dprahl@ibacos.com or
jholton@ibacos.com.
The DOE Residential Team,
including NREL, BSC, and
IBACOS, are here to help
make your residential
reconstruction projects a
success, and are ready to
meet with you or your
builder to discuss your
rebuilding plans.
The U.S. Department of
Energy’s Building America
Program is reengineering the
American home for energy
efficiency and
affordability. Building
America works with the
residential building
industry to develop and
implement innovative
building processes and
technologies – innovations
that save builders and
homeowners millions of
dollars in construction and
energy costs. This
industry-led, cost-shared
partnership program uses a
systems engineering approach
to reduce energy use,
utility bills, construction
time, and construction
waste.
