In the next program in the Rockport Conservation Commission's Climate Talk Series at the Rockport Public Library, we'll hear about local approaches to building climate-friendly housing. Maine business owners Andrew Frederick and Danny Salomon will talk about building zero-carbon houses with low-carbon materials, and “circular construction” — an alternative to traditional demolition that repurposes and reuses building materials. By highlighting these strategies, the discussion will help Rockport residents make climate-friendly building decisions.Andrew Frederick is the founder of Croft, a Maine-based company synthesizing climate-positive construction and high-performance, panelized prefab. As design partner and head of R&D for both product and process development, he brings a pragmatic and holistic ethos to his role within the firm, from working alongside alongside organic grain and wool producers to prototyping new production equipment for the factory floor. His favorite claim is that Croft is a carbon-capture company whose byproducts just happen to be food and housing. When he's not working, you can (not easily) find him, outside, with his family.
Danny Salomon is the founder and principal of Second Story Builders, an emerging mission-driven business in Midcoast Maine committed to reducing construction waste and advancing circular construction practices by offering deconstruction services, reclaimed material sales, and design/build project delivery that prioritizes the use of salvage. Danny also serves on the Historic Resources Committee in Camden, and previously ran a community-oriented design/build program at Camden Hills Regional High School called The Hatchery, which exclusively sourced materials from the region's waste stream.
