About The Integrated Development Team
Behind the scenes were several groups of talented people forming the comprehensive, integrated design and construction team hand-picked by Garratt Hasenstab and his business partner Gregory Jordan.
First is the incredible team at Heritage Homes of Nebraska, the prefabrication plant where all of the major construction components were constructed off-site. Their dedication to building green and ultra-efficient far exceeds any other pre-fab builder we have worked with or discussed projects with in the past,” said Garratt Hasenstab. Heritage Homes of Nebraska built all of the modules for this development and worked closely as an integral part of the design and construction team to ensure that these homes achieved the highest possible energy ratings and sustainability certifications through their hard work and dedication to the project.
Also behind the scenes, the experts at globally renowned sustainability consulting firm Verdigris Group worked closely with the development team guiding and implementing the fully-integrated sustainability efforts for this development, from design and planning through construction to ensure that the incredibly high efficiency and sustainability standards established at the outset of the project were achieved. Verdigris Group facilitates green building, building science and LEED certification administration consulting as well as provides organizational sustainability and corporate social responsibility consulting.
Additionally, the savvy smart home technology advisory, Haven Smart Home Solutions worked closely with the development team recommending and implementing smart home ecosystems that would ensure not just high-performance, resource efficient and certifiably healthy homes, but homes that actually communicate with their inhabitants on a deeper level, intuitively learning their preferences, sharing data amongst devices and connecting home processes in order to ensure the safety, comfort and health of its people while delivering significant operating cost savings.
Wrapping everything up, the Mountain Life Companies depended upon the dedicated expertise of Deeper Green Consulting from Dillon, Colorado to perform all of the important, third-party testing and verification of these homes energy and sustainability features, validating the highest degreee of efficiency through building science testing and certifying the building envelope’s air sealing, insulation, ventilation, mechanical testing and everything else that goes into an ultra-efficient home. “Without the important work that Deeper Green provided, we could never have achieved the levels of efficiency and sustainability that ultimately have earned us this Home of the Year Award,” said Garratt Hasenstab in praising the work of Deeper Green.
