Wilkinson Engineering has had an energy efficient philosophy since it’s inception over forty years ago. Because for us Green Building is not a passing fancy, Bill knows from years of experience both as a builder and as a professional engineer, what innovations actually deliver. The important decisions start from the very beginning of your project when you decide where to site your house and how to orient it on the land. Those decisions alone will make a huge difference in energy consumption throughout your home’s lifetime. Remember, once the house is built it will be in that exact spot for many decades to come.

Shown above are two examples of the Passive Solar Earth Bermed homes Bill Wilkinson and his partner John King built throughout the Front Range of Colorado in the 1980’s. Earth sheltered houses use the constant temperature of the earth surrounding them to mitigate temperature swings, keeping a home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
