It all started with an intense infatuation with natural building methodologies and real estate investing. The thought that a person could build sustainably with nature and experience freedom off any grid, superior indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and extreme comfort. We then learned the science and methodology of Passivhaus, which challenged every building principle we thought we knew. Our sights are now set on helping others accomplish their visions where architecture meets science to produce extreme performance, comfort, and health.

MainStream adds to the sustainable design, management, and build process by providing the energy target, which far exceeds most rating systems energy reduction goals. Capturing energy loss is one of the easiest ‘low hanging fruits’ of green building as it is not technology-based or mechanically dependent. Loss-less design requires team energy, craftmanship, and a shared vision. We accomplish loss-less design with a tool box of constructible solutions and calculated identifiers to help assist owners, property managers, architects, builders, and investors to create cozy livable spaces for healthy humans. By livable we mean quiet and peaceful, natural lighting in all rooms and constant fresh air. There are no drafts in our buildings or sensible convection currents. We're talking ventilation that REALLY works in the kitchen and bathrooms, and balanced comfort that is attracting thousands of new home owners, builders, and municipalities to instigate the Passive House high-performance building standard.
