Cody Farmer

MainStream Corporation
Before there was green building for Cody Farmer, there was vision of the American dream and the freedom to work with and build with family and friends. Co-founding MainStream Corporation in September 2007, the door opened to that dream. Building some of the nation’s tightest and best known Passive Houses, MainStream has since become a local go-to Passive House and performance building boutique with laser-like focus on the deployment of integrated design results, advanced building envelopes, air tight detailing, ventilation and indoor air quality, energy modeling and contractor training. With roots in real estate investing, he has successfully brought Passive House principles to tiny homes, “McMansions,” Mighty Arrow Passive House, Gilcrest Library, Pelican Lake Ranch maintenance building, City of Lafayette building, City of Fort Collins, Passivista, Traveler’s Rest and many custom “McPassive Houses,” “Almosta” Passive Houses, and the pinnacle passive solar houses. A business marketing graduate of the University of Northern Colorado’s Monfort College of Business 2001, he spent several years prior serving as the director of marketing for a high-tech R&D firm helping bring new government-funded projects into the marketplace. In 2007 he served as a member of Colorado’s Air Force National Guard unit at Greeley’s 137th Space Warning Squadron working with remote living conditions. He then obtained an M.S. degree in Construction Management and Sustainable Building at Colorado State University 2011.
