These windows save energy long term, are becoming more readily available and are priced competitively. Furthermore, building codes are expected to get stricter as demand for energy-efficient homes increases. Providing a tighter seal against the outdoors will require the installation of ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators) in all structures, not just those built to meet passive standards – providing an energy savings of up to 90 percent. In the firm’s experience, different market segments value sustainable materials differently. While it wholeheartedly believes in the use of more sustainable building materials and processes, success in this market is dependent on acceptance by all segments. Whatever project it undertakes, passive or otherwise, it is built on a foundation of integrity and authenticity. Being authentic defines the firm, enabling them to stand out. They tell the truth and work hard. They do what they say they are going to do. The business remains committed to serving clients in North Idaho and Eastern Washington. The firm will continue to focus on processes and experiences that contribute to the success of building unique, one-of-a-kind projects. If the marketplace recognizes its processes are different than the status quo and the firm needs to expand because of it, then it will grow responsibly. That means ensuring the right team is in place so each project gets the time, attention and expertise it deserves. Assisting clients in achieving their goals is Edwards Smith Construction’s number one priority.
