Many of you probably already know something about Dan, author of 25+ books related to renewable energy, green/sustainable design & construction and more. Here are just a few of the titles of the books he has written:
Power from the Sun, Power from the Wind, The Solar House, Solar Electricity Basics, Wind Energy Basics, Green Home Improvement, The Natural House, and many more books available at http://www.evergreeninstitute.org/
What you may not be aware of is that Dan's home, located in Gerald, Missouri, burned down about a year ago and that he is now in the process of building a zero-energy replacement home with many green/sustainable features and much more.
Dan is willing to share his expertise and construction scheduling with us so that we can experience the 'design-build' decision process as it happens. Even though Dan will be extremely busy building his new home, he understands the value of conducting Design Charrettes and is willing to let others learn and grow with him.

Understanding Design Charrettes - How They can Improve Your Project & Offer Income PotentialDesign Charrettes have been around for a very long time and have been commonly used to improve larger commercial & municipal projects through the 'Integrated Team Approach' to design & construction.
However, Design Charrettes are not simply applicable to the large-scale projects. Projects of every size and type can realize benefits by incorporating a correctly-done Design Charrette into the early design process. Design Charrettes can even be used during the course of construction of a project to make sure that all members of the construction team are on-board with the goals of the project and also adapting and/or improving the project along the way.

Design Charrette Options
Carefully Selecting Your Design Team The key to a successful Design Charrette is the selection of a motivated design team that is focused on your project & willing to contribute their experience & expertise.
References-Resources and Help Information is readily available about "how-to" design/build an energy-efficient, green & durable building or other type of sustainable project. In fact, an avalanche of unsorted information can make it hard to find and extract the specific details a particular project needs.
