I contacted Energy Efficient Products, Jay Flaherty 563-359-3260 , I contacted them and they will be giving you a call. Price is dictated by Energy Star appliances, other materials that will tighten up the house such as insulation, windows with low-e argon between the double pane glass, position of the roof pitch, positioning of the roof. (Does it face south or southwest?) These are keys to getting an assessment to make the most of each house. Unfortunately these systems are not cookie cutter yet. The technology is getting better and better each day and with each new system installed. You can consider yourself part of a new frontier helping pave the way to a cleaner earth. Great question!! Thanks, Andy Ask the Expert

Not too many people know this, but anyone who sells Tembec Lumber; if you look at the tag on the bunk of lumber it will tell you the percentage of FSC lumber. Tembec is 100% FSC (on the bunks that I have seen.) Mike Kruse from Menards in Davenport is one that helped educate me on FSC. They may have some on hand, and can special order extra quantities, you must specify with them. You can’t get plywood as of yet, but you can get 2×4′s 2×6′s etc.
