Family background - eeeewwwwhhh!@! TMI!
WE each lead unique lives - Buildings are also UNIQUE
Identical townhouses use different amounts of energy based on eco-characteristics, occupants, age, lifestyles, topography, season, maintenance, shade, envelope ...
ES.T is the pleasant result of a lifetime of effort by many people. Recognizing them is important. Feel free to share your unique background as we continue our eco-journey together.
We should ALL be saving energy!
Fauquier contributors are recognized elsewhere in this, and our other websites, such as FCPS FHS SEA/S EXPO in 2014 at Fauquier HS led by Charlene Root
Last 4 images in left column recognize just my own families eco-efforts (RIP).
Image 1: Brother Tone in back yard in Tunbridge Wells Kent with close friends Suzi and Debbie. Tony passed May 21 2015 at Hospice In The Weald, Kent, England. He tested our prior websites (2004-2015), contributed unique European data, contributed new perspectives, case studies
Image 2: Close friends, some from childhood (when dinosaurs roamed the earth). We are about to spread ashes at a local "lake" where dad and Tony raced their dinghy. Tone about to join mum and dad (ashes) on one-year anniversary of his passing. (Tonbridge Kent UK).

Image 4: Design by Uncle "Tex" who flew Hurricanes in WWII. He trained American pilots in Phoenix AZ. Shot down over Burma behind enemy lines. Member Catterpilar Club. Happy to share more details via phone, or 1-1. Retired in Bournemouth UK, with wife Nina, his amazing zest and interest in life kept me motivated during our quarterly (international) phone calls. Natural burials for both, of course - Crest on display at RAF Club in London (visited both in 2016) - Click last image left column
