Customer Websites

Our customers often build websites about the homes they build. Here are a few of them

• Joe Nolan
• Eric Walker
• David Bull ( Japan !)
• Jesse Lackman

Media Links

While not media hounds, Thermotech does show-up in the media from time to time:

• Bob Vila interviews Vermont builder Mark Albee about Thermotech Windows

Commercial Links

While most of our work is residential, these sites will appeal to the increasing number of commercial designers, especially those interested working to the LEED standard.

• Eco Condo – This cutting edge building may be the most energy efficient building of its type. 
   
• Daylighting Design Guide - A good little design guide on daylighting. Published by Public Works Canada, this 86 page document would help anyone designing for daylighting in a cold climate. 
   
• Solera - Advanced Glazing's Solera is an ideal daylighting glazing panel. It's both highly insulating and highly transparent. Because it's based on glass it can have a similar appearance to vision glazing. The computer simulated before and after images are worth more than the proverbial 1,000 words. 
   
• CBIP Screening tool – Just 27 entries are required to simulate a commercial building. It's no substitute for detailed design, but it will help you separate the realistic solutions from the imposters.
