Highland Park Technologies was launched after an architect and a builder who had performed deep energy retrofits (D.E.R.’s) in the past, connected and realized there had to be a better way to solve the problem of improving energy efficiency in existing buildings. Prior D.E.R.’s performed in New England would require a building owner to take out a mortgage to afford just the shell portion of the retrofit. This made most retrofits not financially viable with traditional methods. Given the urgency of needing to massively reduce society’s carbon output, and with existing buildings representing 40% of current output, the need and opportunity is huge. Our team is a collaboration of architects, builders, craftspeople, digital fabrication experts, and automation specialists. We have one goal, make exterior deep energy retrofits accessible to the largest portion of building owners possible at the best cost.
