A2: Green Building

By

USA Today published a profile of Matt Grocoff and his efforts to do a “green” renovation of his 110-year-old Ann Arbor home, making it a net-zero energy structure. The rehab included installing a geothermal heating & cooling system. Says Grocoff: “We were able to put three 150-foot bore holes vertically into the back yard on a very small piece of property. Not only do we have a heating and cooling system that uses half the energy of our neighbors, we have a house that’s a whole lot more comfortable.” [Source]
