Construction Art cordially invites you to visit our headquarters located in the Tri Cities area of East Tennessee to view our PV system hard at work. Through the efforts of the local USDA Rural Development, TVA and our own resources, we have established a net zero office through the implementation of a 5kW PV system on our facility’s roof. The facility also features GreenVue, a monitoring system that provides a live display of the solar energy production, as well as, educational content to our guests.
Designed in the 1980s as a Solar Passive home by the famous architect, Mark Honeycutt; the home was later acquired by the Krebs family and eventually turned into the Krebs Ventures headquarters. A subsidiary of Krebs Ventures, Construction Art has been instrumental in deploying PV systems on various projects across the country; including, one of the first Dunkin Donuts restaurants to implement a PV system in the country (featured in the 2008 Solar tour); the first Idle Aire truck stop in the country to utilize solar power in White Pine, TN; and the first Dunkin Donuts restaurant to be cooled and heated by solar power utilizing a Lennox Sunsource HVAC system.
We look forward to you visiting our headquarters located in the middle of the Appalachian countryside!
