energy and resource efficient construction at a price the planet can afford

"Green Building is energy conservation in new clothes. If you look at the environmental impact of all the stuff in the green building program, the impact of energy conservation is huge.  Compared to that the impact of the materials you choose is small."

-Steve Loken, Keynote Speaker,

“Greening the 21st Century,”
Seattle Washington,  March 2005

"Steve Loken appears as a leading builder at many conferences and programs throughout the country.  He is a vocal spokesperson for Green Building, and certainly a Leader/Visionary.   Loken focuses on new and clever ways to work better with materials resulting in energy conservation."

-Professional Builder Magazine, January 1999

"Over the past few years, Loken has become something of a guru to the alternative-materials  movement among builders.  He travels the country regularly giving lectures about his building techniques."

--Parade Magazine, March 1996
