Thanks for doing this AMA!

I have four questions:

  1. Are there any real energy savings from building a house out of poured concrete?
  2. When designing a new house, how do you find a good design firm? Any reliable rating/review systems out there?
  3. When building a house, how do you find good construction companies?
  4. Most importantly, how do you make a really energy efficient house that is also zombie proof. Note: Walking dead type zombies. Not the Running dead type zombies in World War Z.

Thanks for the response!

  1. Interesting. Any type of ROI calculations out there displaying realistic initial up tick in cost versus long term savings?
  2. I've done that somewhat. I can find a lot of places that "look" good, but since I'm a computer geek, I don't know if it's built and designed well.
  3. Same as #2
  4. Your last sentence intrigued me the most. Then I realized you were in Chicago, so I jumped to a few conclusions ;)
