My husband, Jerry and I live in a large historic home built in 1840 and situated on approximately 17 acres in Berks County. Since our adult children and grandchildren are living in their own homes in various locations in eastern United States, the time had come for us to move into a more convenient home with much less land.
At the same time we were concerned about our wasted use of essential resources, including energy and water. It seemed unethical for two people to live in an estate property that was not built to conserve valuable resources.
Therefore, we embarked on our "green" adventure which led us to decide to build a LEED certified home. We carefully selected our team of advisers and experts to guide us through the process. I stress the word "team" because it has been a team effort from the very beginning of the project. The members of the team and the companies they represent are as follows:
Kevin K. Ohlinger - Architect
Jim Urso and Michael Micozzi - Associated Construction
Tad Radsinski and Jim McGrath - Sustainable Solutions Corp.
Gary Macglaughlin, Jane Greer and Shannon Jensen - Juxtapose Design
In addition, our son, Steve Najarian, has been an enormous help to us in the planning of our home.
