I have been unsuccessful finding a local architect that has ever built a house that uses the green building techniques in design. On the PHI website the state of TN is not even listed on the professionals list. I am surprised that there are not any located in Knoxville. So first question is whether anyone knows of any architects or home performance contractors in the Johnson City area. So far the closest that I have found is Ashville, NC which is only an hour or so away so that is probably workable?? If I have to go 3-4 hours away to hire an architect what is the baseline level of involvement that I will need to pay for to make sure that the architect is engaged in the project. Zone is 4A. This is a single family residence.
