You can always be very efficient but your carbon footprint will be unsustainable of you heat or cool a large residence.

There are so many things we can be doing but also so far to go.
Thanks for this information.
Does anyone else out there run a building company? What steps have you introduced to reduce your embodied energy / carbon out put??
