“Conscious” Construction Builds Better Homes: A Conversation With Casey Grey of the Conscious BuilderCasey Grey argues that you may not be able to build or renovate a home 100% sustainably, butthat you can do it 100% consciously.
Through his company, The Conscious Builder, Grey advocates making “conscious” constructiondecisions to create a positive, lasting change. He and his team focus on building and renovatinghomes that are cheaper to operate, better for the environment, more comfortable, and healthierfor the families who live in them.
And Grey practices what he preaches. His own home is net zero, producing at least as muchenergy as it consumes, and is built to the energy efficiency standards of the Passive HouseInstitute—although, as he explained to the Bard MBA’s Sven Thiessen, it also features a big rainshowerhead in the master bathroom.
Thiessen spoke with Grey for The Impact Report about the costs of sustainable versus traditionalconstruction, how he’s grown the company, and what he sees as the future of the industry.
