Driving Change in High-Performance Building Design
Since 1985, Tim Twomey has been involved in multiple facets of the building industry. With a longstanding interest in energy and the environment, Tim’s eyes were opened to the fragmented nature of construction and its effect on the final product. He witnessed many inefficiencies in the design and building process, often due to the large number of designers, consultants, and contractors necessary to complete a build. In a standard construction project, each consultant and contractor performs their part in the building operation as quickly as possible. This compartmentalization results in deficiencies in the overall performance of the completed structure.

The Domino Effect of the Fragmented Build
Tim saw not only how the isolation of each sector in the construction process leads to inadequacies in long-term building performance but also impacts purchases down the line. This includes things like overbuilt homes that, unbeknownst to their owners, worsen the efficiency equation, as well as the need to purchase larger, more expensive HVAC and hot water equipment to compensate for a leaky thermal envelope and poorly located, improperly designed equipment. Wanting to go beyond simply completing a structure that looks pretty, his passionately environmentally conscious mind envisioned a more cohesive, efficient homebuilding process with the overall end performance of the structure in mind.
A Common Sense Solution
Tim’s solution was to amass a trusted network of service providers willing to work toward the ultimate goal of a cohesive, energy efficient, high-performance building. As BESC was born, Tim made strategic partnerships with trusted providers who would complement his background including skilled framers, HVAC experts, insulation specialists, and even insurance professionals. With their help BESC organizes timely but thorough builds, meeting the requested design standards and expected efficiency requirements of home and business owners.
