    John Reuter Greenworks provides energy consulting and modeling for residential and light commercial buildings. When asked why he chose Easy-Fur for the net zero home, Reuter described the product as affordable, incredibly easy to install, and provided the home protection from insects. Reuter also mentioned other rainscreens blocked airflow around windows and tricky siding details. Easy-Fur’s benefits include ease of application and the ability to promote airflow and drainage; therefore, reducing mold, mildew, and bacteria.
