Home Science, LLC provides design and assessment services in the green building and home energy fields. Based in Philadelphia, we work on projects of all sizes, with companies, organizations, schools, and individuals. Since 2013 we’ve been involved doing home assessments as part of Philadelphia Water’s popular Rain Check Program for stormwater management, for which we make recommendations for rain gardens, porous paving projects and opportunities for downspout planter installations - green tools to help control runoff and related water pollution issues. Our interdisciplinary approach to the building sciences, which includes aspects of advocacy and education, leads us to a significant conclusion: sustainability starts in the home.
