EEBA Certified Trainer
Dave Richmond
David has over 30 years experience in commercial and residential
construction covering the industry from sales to architectural design to
construction management. Over the last 12 years he has been involved in
building energy efficient, environmentally friendly communities in the
Chicago area.
David had the pleasure of beginning this period in his career by
working with Perry Bigelow of Bigelow Homes, Inc. where he quickly
became a disciple of energy efficient residential construction. David
also spent 9 years as Director of Construction at Prairie Crossing, the
nation's first conservation community, where he was extensively involved
in the Building America Initiative sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of
Energy. Prairie Crossing quickly became the first exclusive Building
America community in the nation due to its success in energy efficient
construction.
Realizing that the future for builders would require a strong
knowledge of the "systems" approach to energy efficient
construction, David began his own consulting firm over a year ago. He
has worked with builders, subcontractors, code officials and homeowners
in the proper implementation of the building techniques needed to
construct durable, energy efficient homes with an eye towards cost and
simplification.
David has also participated in presenting several programs at
conferences presented by EEBA, Affordable Comfort, American Gas
Association, Northern Kentucky Homebuilder's Association, and Midwest
Energy Efficiency Association.
