Professional guidance for incorporating high performance and energy efficient solutions to your project.

Available for educational outreach.

Who I Work With

Homeowners building or renovating in Michigan
Builders looking to offer high-performance homes
Developers seeking lower operating costs and better durability
Design professionals who want a performance partner

Whether you’re early in planning or mid-project, I'll meet you where you are.

High Performance & Energy Strategy

I help define what “high performance” means for your project—balancing energy efficiency, comfort, durability, and budget. This includes:

Whole-home performance planning
Energy-efficiency and electrification strategies
Load reduction and right-sizing systems
Net-zero and solar-ready guidance

Design & Pre-Construction Consulting

Early decisions have the biggest impact on performance and cost. I work with owners and design teams to:

Review plans for constructability and performance gaps
Improve envelope details, insulation strategies, and air-sealing approaches
Coordinate high-performance goals across architecture, engineering, and trades
Avoid costly redesigns or missed opportunities later in the build

Owner's Representation & Project Oversight

As an owner’s advocate, I help protect your investment and keep projects aligned with performance goals.

Independent review of scopes, budgets, and schedules
Contractor and trade coordination support
Change order and cost review
Quality control with a performance lens

Renovation & Existing Home Consulting

High performance improvements are not limited to new construction. I help prioritize upgrades that deliver real results:

Energy audits and performance assessments
Phased renovation planning
Air sealing, insulation, and mechanical upgrade strategies
Cost-effective improvements with strong ROI

Environmental Risk & Home Health Assessment

Wellness isn't an add on, it should be foundational. Vulnerabilities from humidity and stagnant moisture have consequences on your health, but also the longevity of your home's structure and materials.

Air quality & water assessment
Moisture and water solutions
Ventilation remediation
Structural integrity risk assessment and mitigation
