Chris Briley of BRIBURN.

Chris Briley is one of the principals at our Climate Positive partner, BRIBURN, and he has co-authored a book with three other Mainers (Dan Kolbert – Builder, Emily Mottram – Architect, and Michael Maines -Designer). Titled “Pretty Good House”, the book provides a framework and set of guidelines for building or renovating a high-performance home that focus both on its inhabitants and the environment—but keeps in mind that few people have pockets deep enough to achieve a “perfect” solution. The essential idea is for homeowners to work within their financial and practical constraints both to meet their own needs and do as much for the planet as possible.
