We’re restoring our 110-year-old Folk Victorian home and have made it ultra energy efficient by using geothermal heating and cooling, motion sensor lights, an energy monitor, tight insulation and sealing, and energy star appliances. Now we’re nearly ready to add solar panels. The home will then produce more energy than we consume. This project will make history by being the oldest home in America to achieve net-zero energy. We hope to inspire others to create a Mission Zero for every one of the 130 million existing homes in the US Restoring old homes is not just about preserving the past, it’s about protecting our future.

Portland, Oregon based Earthquake Tech owner, Steve Gemmell, walks the viewer through a typical home foundation retrofit project. Homes built before 1975 require foundation retrofitting and seismic upgrades to qualify for earthquake insurance. Houses susceptible to sliding and foundation buckling can also benefit from retrofits and SR walls, or foundation reinforcements. This video takes the mystery out of a home retrofit job and also includes the occasional comedic relief from Steve. Great for casual viewing and home improvement education.
