Manfred Knobel Email & Phone Number

NC, SC & TN licensed builder specializing in energy saving solutions using advanced technologies in construction. ICF (Insulating Concrete Froms), windows/door systems, advanced roof sturctures - in short: everything it takes to build as air tight as possible. Further inclusions are advanced European energy systems harnessing the solar-geothermal dual energy potential and increased air exchange with decreased energy requirement. We build below Passivhaus standard with energy requirements between 6-12kWh/m2/year.I have national and international experience working with all levels of clientel and cultures. Open mindedness and solution driven attitude has always served me well. It is my intent to educate people about energy, its uses and its savings. Even though fossil fuels are integrated tightly into our everyday way of life we need to free ourselves from this stranglehold to explore alternatives.First line of reducing one's carbon footprint is to conserve/safe energy. Second line is to reduce one's energy requirement. Third line is to chose the source of energy used.Good energy is out there - become active in realizing it. We need to steer away from bad impact energy (coal and oil) in order to secure the well being of future generations.Specialties: Have been involved in the construction and building restoration industry since 1987. Moving forward in the 21st. century I am employing ICF (insulating concrete forms) technology to provide energy efficient structures.I believe in passive structure design and am a proponent for solar energy solutions. We all carry a responsibility for our future on this planet and need to minimize our carbon foot print.
