Minuta Architecture is now an Energy Star Partner! As such, we can better serve our clients need by designing homes to meet the rigorous Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to building code standards, and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes. Any home three stories or less can earn the Energy Star label if it has been verified to meet EPA's guidelines, even existing retrofitted homes. Energy Star qualified homes include a variety of 'tried-and-true' energy-efficient features that contribute to improved home quality and homeowner comfort, and to lower energy demand and reduced air pollution. For more information, visit Energy Star or contact us directly.
Minuta Architecture will be exhibiting at the Greater Southern Dutchess Chamber of Commerce’s 845-Connections Business and Consumer Expo on May 14th, 2009 at Gold’s Gym on Titusville Road in Poughkeepsie from 12PM-7PM. Come see us! Visit www.gsdcc.org for more information.

Minuta Architecture’s Green Building Team continues to grow. Debra Evans, ASID, CID, our interior designer, has become a LEED Accredited Professional under the LEED CI (Commercial Interiors) system! We believe the knowledge Debra has acquired will be of great benefit to our retail clients. LEED-certified spaces are becoming more and more desirable to tenants as energy costs continue to rise. They cost less to operate due to higher resource efficiency and create high performance productive work environments which is a win-win for owners, occupants, and our environment.
