TDS Custom Construction
1431 Northern Court Madison, WI 

Project Description:
Nestled into a quaint manufacturing district on the Isthmus our new office was designed with the environment and future in mind.  With a 3.2KW solar electric system the sun provides 35-40% of our electricity needs as well as lots of natural day-lighting making for low utility bills and an inviting indoor working environment. With highly efficient heating and cooling equipment,  LED and dimmable fluorescent lighting and insulation and air infiltration standards 3 times better than a baseline Energy Star® home, our overall energy consumption is very low.  Other sustainable design features include stained concrete floors, 100% reclaimed wood trim, two rain gardens and a porous brick sidewalk.

Full Spectrum Solar
1240 E. Washington Ave


Make sure to stop by for their 10th Anniversary Party!


Project Description:
Full Spectrum Solar built our office within a large steel building that previously held an auto-body shop.  The super-insulated space includes radiant in-floor heating with a high-efficiency condensing boiler (plus soon-to-be installed solar collectors).  Clerestory windows provide day lighting, and there is recycled flooring and furniture.  A sophisticated ventilation system monitors CO2, and also keeps the office cool during the summer by venting when the outdoor temperature becomes cooler than inside. A solar electric awning shades the south-facing windows, and another roof-mounted photovoltaic system produces more electricity than is used in the office and attached warehouse/garage.
