Sierra Homes
At Sierra Homes we have chosen to pursue a path in new home construction that takes a more focused effort at improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality. With the improvement of building techniques and materials over the last couple of decades, homes are being built much tighter and more energy efficient. Although this is very good as we are starting to reduce utility expenses in our homes, there are problems that have been created by these advancements. One of the main problems created is the opportunity for mold growth when moisture becomes trapped. Another issue is the pollutants and gases that are being trapped in our homes and affecting our families health. The good news is that these problems are able to be addressed and handled effectively while continuing to improve the energy efficiency of our homes.

Architect-designed homes are highly compatible with green technologies as they maintain similar values: smart design, efficiency, beautiful craftsmanship and coherence among the home’s elements.

Barley & Pfeiffer Architects
Most likely you have seen or heard of "Green" design, or "Green" architecture, and it has piqued your interest. Essentially, the practice of "Green" building and design is part of a globally growing attitude toward the way we live, work, build, and play in which concern for our natural surroundings is equally as important as what we build among them. For instance, the masonry used to clad the outside of your building: Is it natural stone that came from a local quarry or is it processed brick that has a high "embodied energy content" that required transport from from a plant 300 miles away? How much energy went into constructing your building or home because of that one particular choice? This is only one of many questions we should consider as we develop our buildings that are responsible for almost half of all the energy consumed in America.

Tech Product Specialties
Tech Product Specialties was incorporated in 1999 for the purpose of filling a need to provide specialized parts for unique applications. In a world that demands the best of technology, finding all the right fittings to link two pieces of technology together can be a real challenge with a simple solution: just make one. With one being the operative word; not everything in life needs to be mass produced and burdened with the cost of marketing.
With CNC milling capabilities, expert craftsmanship and a general perfectionist's attitude as a basis for our work, settling for anything less in our work environment just didn't feel right. Shouldn't our surroundings emanate the same quality that we strive to achieve in our work? That's what lead us down the path distributing Smith and Fong's Plyboo®. When we set out to find products for our new office, we found bamboo flooring at the local store. It looked great, but was very low quality. No problem! We then went to the World Wide Web to seek great looking bamboo products of the highest quality. After receiving samples from multiple sources, one product stood out-- Plyboo®. They not only had flooring but they had plywood to match! Problem solved! Or so we thought... Having long been spoiled by the enviable availability of everything you could possibly want here in Houston, we were shocked to discover that these amazing products were not available here in the great state of Texas.

Advance Insulation of Texas
The Icynene Insulation System® is a complete insulation, air and moisture barrier system that windproofs and seals wall, floor and ceiling cavities against air movement, including spaces around electrical outlets and light fixtures, at baseboards and where walls meet windows and doors. This means that outside air (either hot or cold) cannot seep through walls, causing drafts or cold spots. It also means that humid interior air cannot enter the walls and condense.
The system combines a material with a Certified Service providing any builder or homeowner with a truly cost effective method of energy efficient construction. The material is polyicynene foam (see Product Specifications), an organic material developed from products of the petro- chemical industry similar in composition to many that are already in home use today. The service is a custom installation on the building site by trained and Certified Installers, providing a custom insulation fit into any size cavity.
