Working as a design/build team, Tom Moore and Keith Dewey AIA have will design and build sustainably designed, high performance residences. Our high performance design/build process will focus on the following principles:

  • Create a model community focusing on sophisticated architecture in harmony with nature at a reasonable price.
  • Preserve shared open meadow and mountain and pond view.
  • Implement energy-efficient design toward zero net annual energy usage.
  • Provide as much electricity and space heat as possible using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
  • Provide architectural variety within a unified timeless site construction.
  • Build all homes to the standards outlined in the Vermont Builds Greener/LEED for Homes (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) sustainable rating system.

A hallmark of Tom Moore’s career is building Five Star Energy homes with extraordinary detail and low maintenance requirements. Tom is an active member of the National Remodeler’s Council and serves on the Vermont Builds Greener Development Committee. Our company strives to make every project an inspiration to its owners. We have high standards for quality, durability, and occupant health and comfort. Following the Not So Big House philosophy of architect Sarah Susanka, we believe in focusing resources to guarantee homeowners the greatest quality for their budget. Energy efficiency and sustainable building practices minimize energy costs and impact on the environment while increasing a home’s value.

"At Efficiency Vermont we are always pleased to work with Tom Moore Builder Inc. because Tom always tries to make each new project more energy efficient and sustainable than his last project. Over the many years we have worked with him in Vermont ENERGY STAR® Homes, this approach has resulted in his progression from being a quality home builder and remodeler to being among a small group of builder leaders pushing the industry for sustainable building practices, referred to as 'Green Building'. We look forward to assisting with the Locust Knoll development and have full confidence that this project will eclipse yet again Tom Moore Builders previous accomplishments."~ Jeffrey GephartVt.
