Why We Do It...

The facts speak loud and clear and it's not pretty. In this country alone, buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption, 39% of CO2 emission, and 13% of water consumption annually. We developed PowerHouse as a solution to climate change because we believe we can make a significant difference, one building, and one client at a time.

At PowerHouse, saving money and saving the planet go hand in hand. We all want to do what is best for the environment. But sometimes we may not know how to begin, especially if it means redesigning our home or business. PowerHouse removes that uncertainty from the process. We will show you both big and small ways to save your money and help protect our planet. We make it easy for our clients to have energy-efficient, cost-effective living and work spaces.
