Lisa Farmer

MainStream CorporationNavy veteran Lisa Farmer returned home to Colorado in 2001 after serving six years. She continued her training from the military to include a Civil Engineering degree from Colorado State University in 2004, later obtaining her professional engineers license in 2007. Beginning in the water resources sector, she became an excellent project engineer for water systems and reservoirs. She managed project schedules and budgets, and sub-contractors from design through construction. Taking those skills further into the built environment, she joined her husband Cody at MainStream Corporation in 2012 to design buildings that are healthier and can exist off-grid. She obtained her Certified Passive House Consultant designation in 2012 and is intimately familiar with both PHPP and WUFI-Passive. She runs energy models and coaches architects, owners and builders on how given building envelopes change in order to meet Passive House Standards. Together, the Farmers have succeeded in designing some of the healthiest and most comfortable buildings using the Passive House design strategies. With project owners who need and desire interior health and comfort, their principles bring value ten-fold. Their specialty in air-tightness and fresh air ventilation provide significant energy savings on all their projects, while two have managed to achieve the third party Passive House certification. The buildings’ electrical use will significantly be reduced from today’s code-built construction. Ms. Farmer has lead marketing efforts at MainStream to provide these resources not only to custom residential, but also to tiny homes, maintenance buildings, town halls and libraries.
