Eco-Dynamic™ Specification
Specifications, and how they are applied, drive the way houses are built. They are complex, and crucial to integrating new technologies into the building industry. The Hickory Consortium developed the Eco-Dynamic Specification to clarify the how-to's, and in the process save energy, costs, time, people's health - and the environment. Our specification is different from most of what is offered by other consultants in that it consists of two parts: instructions on how to ride the bicycle, and personal guidance in the subtleties of doing so. The Eco-Dynamic Spec is the oldest of such specs in the country and the most comprehensive.
Not everyone can use the same specifications. Therefore, we tailor the Eco-Dynamic Spec to serve the needs of our individual clients. Some of these are building departments, city agencies, or housing finance corporations, who may want a set of recommendations, a guideline, or a legal standard. Some of our clients are developers, both public and private, who might implement it to assure a successful building project.
Our clients have included The City of Boulder, Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development, the State of Connecticut, and the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation, as well as many Community Development Corporations.
