In the Midst of a New Paradigm
Are you feeling an evolution? Are you seeing “changes” in our world at all?
An interesting thing about these unprecedented times we are in is that it does seem “slow” enough that it’s not too dramatic or overwhelming for the most part. Sure there may be periods of what appears to be CHAOS, and even a bit shocking, but then, with [...]
What is Renewable Energy? A Work of Art.
When one jumps onto the “Sustainable Building” Train - the amount of information about all the various aspects of building for living sustainably, and creating a sovereign lifestyle can seem quite daunting. But like anything that is “new” - by keeping at it and picking up a little bit more each day - like a [...]
GOAL: GETTING TO NET ZERO BUILDINGS
The more one researches about “BUILDING GREEN” - “SUSTAINABLE BUILDING” - “CONSCIOUS LIVING - the more one realizes the less one knows, and the more there is to know!! It’s wild. It’s GREAT!
There are many initiatives going on ALL OVER THE WORLD. From governments to grass roots. The great thing is we’re all pointing [...]
Building Green isn’t only about Energy Conservation
My dad always respected his responsibilities as steward of his possessions including home and land and also strongly believed in Energy Conservation. I can remember it like it was yesterday - where he always insisted in his strong bellowing voice to “close our doors and lights” whenever we’d leave a room or house! PERIOD!
Maybe it was because he [...]
To Build Green or not to Build Green?

Soon Team Perka will be passing on opportunities to add off grid [...]
Are you still wondering if Building Green is really “the way” to go?
While it is probably the fastest growing “awareness” the human race has ever grown into - one might be surprised to hear how so many of us still wonder if Building Green is “worth” it???
“Building Green” is not only good for the “environment” which it does by preserving energy by not “wasting” it needlessly, consuming less non-renewable [...]
BUILDINGS FOR A CHANGE
I don’t know about you - but it seems everytime I try to use old proven formulas or systems that used to work time and time again - NOTHING HAPPENS ANYMORE!!! What is going on? Are all these moon cycles and eclipses causing havoc to the very DNA of life as we knew it?
It used to [...]
More FAN-TASTIC reasons why Perka’s Eco-Hybrid Building system WORKS!
8. Because Perka ’s frames are made with recycled steel and therefore holds some of the highest structurally enduring properties for long lasting, and climate resistant construction… we can also have wider and longer bay spacings than conventional wood designs. This makes Perka Steel Frames more flexible and practical!http://www.perka.com/index.html
9. And because PERKA’s steel frames have longer and [...]
ARE ECOCITIES WAY OF FUTURE??
While we all like to think we can figure out things by working at our own parcels of real estate — there is a bigger picture concern that can not be overlooked!!
OUR CITIES ARE THE LARGEST THINGS WE HUMANS CREATE!!!

SERVICE AND RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
SERVICE: A TEAM PERKA CORE VALUE.
We have come to realize that as a HUMAN RACE - we are ALL connected… and part of the scope of our “being” a business includes this awareness. Being an “Enlightened Business” includes the responsibility of Stewardship over our world including environment and fellow human BEINGS.
Once aware - we must live the awareness…
