90 minutes, $750.00, $375.00 deposit. In person.

The Makello team can help you with early stage planning, to put you on a more affordable path for a high efficiency home designed for optimal energy production, storage and use. The booking fee deposit $375 is non-refundable, however remainder once paid is credited towards Green Energy EPC by Makello installation services on the contract. There is a different set of challenges in new construction off-grid homes, than there is with adapting an existing home that was not designed to go "off-grid" (independent of utilities). Makello will research the 'Energy Ecosystem', Juergen will research construction, and we'll perform a trade-off study of available options. The energy analysis, equipment selection, behavior and appliances trade-off study of the 'Energy Ecosystem', is led by Charlie, Linda and Laurence, to make best use of available resources and incentives. The design, materials, control systems and planning team is led by Juergen, an architect who 25 years ago, helped to establish the permitting process and workshops in San Diego, for innovative and low-cost and DIY green building techniques and material selection, such as straw bale building. Estimated hours for the Ethical Energy Savings Report = 40; including site survey & trade-off study by CA licensed energy upgrade experts.
