Andrew Michler LEED AP BD+C, CPHC, found his way to a pine forest in the Colorado Rockies where he has lived off-grid for 20 years. His wide ranging exploration of design and environmental impact has led him all over the world, stepping to the edges of contemporary environmental architecture. Blending his long time experience in design/construction, art, and sustainable building research into the written word he recently published the book [ours] Hyperlocalization of Architecture. His work in Passive House includes developing the first international certified Passive House in Colorado which is also foam free.
