Green Retrofits
Once the energy audit is complete, Brian C. Bishop and Associates will come up with a plan for making the building more energy efficient. Energy retrofits may include new windows, better insulation, a new (smaller) air conditioner, more efficient appliances and fixtures, weather sealing, and more. The result will be a reduced power bill for years to come. And some improvements are eligible for utility rebates and tax credits.
In the process, improvements can also be made to the home's storm-worthiness, including tying down the roof rafters, installing impact-resistant windows, installing a new roof, upgrading electricity and plumbing. These improvements are especially important in the case of older homes, which are becoming increasingly difficult to insure against hurricanes. For those who are contemplating NEW CONSTRUCTION, Brian C. Bishop and Associates can help you achieve an even higher level of energy efficiency and hurricane resistance.
