BA-PIRC Partnership with
GMD Construction Co.
Palm Beach Gardens, FL

BA-PIRC provided technical assistance to Guy DiVosta with GMD construction in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Mr. DiVosta was interested in improving the overall energy efficiency of his home designs and providing solar thermal or PV systems as options. GMD Construction (DiVosta) received a lighting assessment and plan from California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC), which included extensive use of CFLs and occupancy sensors. In addition, GMD Construction consulted BA-PIRC on a home that had some indoor comfort problems in 2006. In 2007, we performed design review and made recommendations for a 31 home development planned by GMD Construction in Jupiter, FL. Preliminary analysis of one model shows that 30 to 40% benchmark savings (plus PV and SDHW) is attainable.
