Breaking Ground



Over one year of designing has been completed for the residence, studio and gallery. The Santa Fe team collaborating to make it all happen include: Autotroph architecture ran the Ecotekt passive solar modeling software (photo) to maximize efficiency of the building. Sunrise Construction and Design will be managing the building with Robert Dunner at the helm. Around 3,500 square feet of space will have geothermal heating and cooling installed by Gene Romero and Dahl plumbing. Tom Lujan will be drilling the boreholes and 100% of our water will be recycled into irrigation designed and installed by the Rain Catcher Inc. Here we go!!

    I have a question about using geothermal heating and cooling for my home. Please point me in the direction of a good resource on how to use this valuable energy saving technology.

    The best way to keep a fountain or birdbath free of algae is to place it in the shade. Because algae are photosynthetic, they enjoy sun. Photosynthetic organisms like algae synthesize their food directly from carbon dioxide using energy from sunlight.
