Professional Testimonials
As an architect, I enjoyed working with Mike Trolle of BPC Green Builders. I found him great to work with on a number of levels. Personally, he was prompt, attentive to details, communicative and always open to suggestions. He conducted the project in a professional, open and straightforward manner at all times.
He was also a great resource. His knowledge of building performance issues was broad, ranging from Healthy House principals, to energy conservation, to indoor air quality and comfort, to building longevity.
My collaboration with Mike Trolle was so positive, I am eager to work with him again, and would gladly recommend him to any design professional interested in improved building performance!

Hi Chris,
I have refined the cubic feet #'s for ultimate accuracy and get just a slightly different # than I came up with on the fly yesterday.
Total house volume = 46,775 cubic feet (we were using my guestimate of 48,670 yesterday)
Blower door test was 965 cfm50 x 60 = 57,900 cf / 46,775 cf house volume = 1.237 / 20 = .062 air changes per hour (normalized)...yesterday we said .059 but then we found that window not totally closed, etc...hell lets just call it .06!
SO AWESOME! Yay! Congratulations!
I just wanted to say how extremely proud I am of the house and what a fantastic job you and your whole team did. The whole project was just a joy to be a part of from start to finish and this blower door test is just the last straw that kicks my geeky little heart over the edge into pure happiness! So thanks a million for being the best green builders in Fairfield County! I hope we get to do another one soon.

Our office has had the opportunity to work with Mike Trolle, of
BPC Green Builders (BPC), over the past three years in a variety
of capacities and on several projects. We began working with Mike
in 1999 as his Architects to develop his initial design and produce
Construction Documentation for an American Lung Association Health
House that he developed speculatively in Roxbury, CT. Since then,
we have designed another house in Roxbury, and his company provided
construction services for a client of ours in Bethany, CT.
Mike has been tenacious in his efforts to understand and implement the fundamentals and sophisticated techniques of building science. On numerous occasions, he has advanced our understanding, and often pushed the limits of our abilities in the pursuit of the best solutions. Anyone considering hiring BPC, can be assured that the material selection, construction techniques, and implementation of their building will come under the benefit of his scrutiny.
As architects, it has also been a sincere pleasure to work for Mike. He is an extraordinary client who has been able to utilize our skills and experience. The working relationship that we have developed is based upon trust and confidence, and has been tested by the realities and trials of construction.
I offer, without hesitation, a full recommendation for your consideration.

Our first project, the construction of 4 condominium
homes just off of Ridgefield's Main Street has proven to set
new standards for in-fill construction. It is important to note
[BPC Green Builders] delivered the project on time and on budget.
Our second project, the gut renovation of a 1890's
carriage house into 4 apartments has received a huge amount of
recognition for which I am grateful. The residents report great
satisfaction with the promised low level of energy consumption
proving building green makes a difference.
I look forward to our next project, the construction
of my own primary residence; a LEED certified home in Ridgefield.

As an HVAC mechanical contractor for twenty-two years, the last three have been my most rewarding, as we have seen renewed and widespread interest and commitment to solving our nation’s energy issues.
BPC is in the forefront of this commitment. Our company has benefited from our professional and personal interaction with Mike and Chris Trolle. From client introduction to final walk through, the drive for total customer satisfaction is clear.
Working with Mike and Chris has been challenging, rewarding and, above all, enjoyable. BPC’s commitment to their clients is only second to their commitment to healthy homes and energy conservation. BPC has helped our company and me to grow ever more committed to this philosophy. Whether the homes they have built were trying to achieve any advanced certification or not, they all received the same attention and detail.
We look forward to many more projects with Mike and Chris and would recommend them to anyone looking into building a smart healthy home. Our expertise, coupled with BPC’s advanced degree of building science knowledge, offers any client the total package. Our systems can be cutting edge but still quite simple to explain when you have two brothers that understand all areas of the building industry.
