Applied Energy Solutions
Applied Energy Solutions, LLC is bringing a new concept of providing “High Performance” home designs to the select group of persons desiring to live in a “Not so Big House” of less than 2,500 square feet that should be available for purchase at less than $250,000. The homes will be certified under the Department of Energy’s “Energy Star” Program. Applied Energy Solutions' team, Jordan Heiman,Tim Michels and Greg Polanik, are working to demonstrate to designers and builders how quality high performance homes can be built with lower monthly cost of ownership. The building designed as a whole can reduce the cost of ownership by minimizing energy consumption. We assume the first step to a least-cost home for its owner is to take all conservation / efficiency measures reasonably possible. In turn this reduces the first cost of the heating and air-conditioning equipment with reductions in the annual cost of utility services. We have achieved our goal when the combined annual cost of the home’s principal, interest, electricity, gas, and water service combined with the cost of insurance and maintenance is less than the cost of present day conventional homes.

HomeEco
Everything is connected. From the way we eat to the way we feather our nests, every purchase has an impact on the planet we call home. We can buy used, use less, share more, shop fair trade, and recycle. And we can ask where things come from and how they were made. We can accept that no one “in charge” is looking out for the planet or our health—it’s up to each of us to “go green” as our abilities and needs allow. Since 2005, Home Eco has striven to become St. Louis’ primary point of access to a burgeoning world of alternative, planet-preferred goods and services. Taking a “general store” approach, the store offers a wide range of eco-friendly options for the home and garden, from laundry powder, to composters, to natural flooring, to baby clothes. Located in an old neighborhood shopping district on the city’s south side, Home Eco strives to live lightly on the earth, and help you do the same. Home Eco is located at 4611 Macklind Ave in St. Louis. Visit them on line at www.home-eco.com.
