Making Housing Efficient.

All things Energy Efficient for construction professionals and homeowners, alike. We future-proof housing.

Sustained Ability can provide anything for energy efficient residential projects. Our building scientists design, fix, test, analyze, model, build, renovate, write listen and ultimately, save you money. Everything we do is meant to lower emissions and be the Residential Energy Coach you need. 

We understand each aspect of construction and use it to inform our work.

How a building performs impacts how we live and how we occupy a space impacts how it performs.

Diagnose and Improve

Building Science is the study of why and how buildings operate. We understand the Physics at play and are practiced resolving or preventing comfort, energy and moisture issues in any project.

Our nearly 25 years experience in architecture, contracting and consulting allows for cost effective, pragmatic and efficient improvements that homeowners and builders can utilize to improve their projects, large or small.

Project Types

Projects come in all sizes and for all clients. We focus on bringing both energy and financial efficiency to our jobs by involving any federal, state and local incentives available. We’ve retrofitted low income apartment buildings, designed HVAC systems for single family homes and piloted emerging technology installations.

We are confident we can help.

We’ve recently completed work on the following:

-Infrared Inspections

-Attic Weatherization & Air Sealing

-In wall Sensor Installations

-Heat Pump Sizing & Selection (Manual J & Manual S)

-Attic Moisture Corrections

-Phase Change Material Installations (PCM Mats)
