Architects
Terry Thornsbury, Viridian Architectural Design Inc. - Indiana
Terry Thornsbury, AIA, searches out the best options to cut long-term costs and minimize impact on the planet. He wants the best performance from his designs, but he also needs reliable service. That's why he depends on Thermocore structural insulated panels.
Jim Rounsevell Architecture - Virginia
Outside the nation's capital in northern Virginia, Jim Rounsevell designs AIA award-winning homes. Although green building has never been an explicit part of his agenda, “Why anyone is stick building these days is nuts to me,” he said.
Rodney Wright Architecture - Kentucky
Flexibility. Optimum energy-efficiency. No hassles. Here's your competitive edge: Even if your customers' homes don't appreciate in this economy, they still earn substantial dividends.

Builders
Treasure Homes - Indiana
“A number of builders commented on the air tightness. They also liked the ease of construction, the straight walls, and the timeframe — the Thermocore structural insulated panels go up very quickly to close in the structure.”
Glenville Timberwrights - Wisconsin
“That spray foam contractor lobbied us for years to use his product. In reality, it just doesn't compare to the Thermocore structural insulated panels.”
Stephens Construction - New York
“For decades, we've known that panels like Thermocore's save at least 50% — sometimes up to 60 and 70% — of energy costs,” said Steve Haroth, owner of New York-based Stephens Construction. “Once we have the technology in hand to build a better way, I wouldn't feel comfortable building a 2 x 6 home [with traditional construction techniques] again. I'll never go back.”
Barton Designs - Wisconsin
“The Wisconsin building code permits up to 50% of a home's air to escape through leaks every hour — at an annual cost of $500 to $600. Bart Rynish just set a new record. With only 3% air infiltration, the cost for the home he built drops to less than $15 per year.”
Eric Habben - Nevada
“Although Eric Habben faces summer days up to 110 degrees and winter nights in the teens, his electric bill averages just $36.”

Homeowners
William Cox - Kentucky
“William Cox had done plenty of research into Thermocore panels and expected his new home to be energy-efficient--but even he was surprised by the savings. Even though his new home is 44% larger, his heating and cooling bills are 61% lower!”
Karl & Kris Buss - Kentucky
“Karl Buss just wanted a home he could afford to build and live in for the long-term. With Thermocore panels, he invested in his dream home — instead of the utility company.”
Rodney Wright - Kentucky
“When high winds sent a huge tree hurtling onto his home, Rodney Wright found out just how strong Thermocore panels are. Though many neighbors' homes were destroyed, his suffered only minor damage.”
Charon & Gene Gray - Kentucky
“With Thermocore panels and other energy-efficient features, Charon and Gene Gray save money and help the environment but they also suffer less from their allergies and asthma in their super-tight house.”
