Middletown, CT – The Connecticut Green Building Council presented awards to home and facility
owners recognizing their exceptional devotion to energy-savings and excellence in design. George Keithan,
president and CEO of Consulting Engineering Services, and his wife Mary were presented with their award
for the Most Intriguing Residential Project for their Net Zero Energy home located in Killingworth, CT.
About two years ago George and Mary decided to commit to fostering a carbon free new life-style and designed
the first Net Zero Energy Home in Connecticut. With the hard work of CES employees James Senatro, PE and
Nick Fair who designed the MEP systems, J. W. Huber Architect LLC and Essex Squared LLC and numerous
contractors, the home was completed in November and the Keithan family was able to start their new life-style
in the very first Net Zero Energy Home completed in Connecticut and one of only a few in New England.
This home is a certified LEEDTM Platinum home, has a -7 HERS rating, was featured in the CT Department of
Environmental Protections Earth Day 40 Video and is entered in Northeast Utilities Zero Energy Challenge.
