Green Consulting

Odin's Hammer has decades of experience in green building. Connie and Dennis have been leaders in the green building movement in the Bay Area and beyond. For many years, they have advised and built coalitions with non-profits, local governments, and professional guilds. Connie has lectured and educated across the country. They have a strong commitment to and an understanding of the ideals of green building backed by years of hard-won knowledge and experience in the field.

Building Green Buildings

Indigenous building technology, i.e. solar gain and prevailing winds, new products i.e. engineered lumber, and techniques come together and work harmoniously to create cutting edge, high performance healthier buildings. Odin's Hammer can provide consultation on how to green a building at any stage in the building process. The sooner that sustainability can be defined as a goal, the more synergies and savings can be achieved by tuning the building to work as a whole system. The staff of Odin's Hammer draws on years of practical building experience, from fly ash in foundations to solar panels on the roof, to make the building process as seamless as possible for their clients.

Building Green Developments

Typical development changes the face of a building, a block, or a neighborhood - but green development will have a hand in changing the world. Just as houses work as systems, so do neighborhoods and towns. Landscaped drainage swales can reduce sewer infrastructure needs. Cool roofs can reduce the urban heat island effect. Not only is green good for the environment, its good for the bottom line. Healthier buildings earn higher rents; have lower churn rates, less risk, and more market benefits.

Building Green Communities

Communities built around sustainable development will continue to grow into the future. When sustainability is the goal from the beginning, there is no cost that comes due later in the form of health and ecosystem degradation. Dennis and Connie are currently undertaking sustainable community development in the Western Nebraska Panhandle region, www.sandhillsalliance.com. This development will preserve historic buildings, support local business, create jobs, re-establish the community as a cultural and economic center long into the future and be on the leading edge of the new green wave in our economy.
