Jack Devitt is the owner and principal designer at Devitt Design Services.
He is graduate of the Solar Energy program of Cabrillo College, Santa Cruz, California, 1981. He has since worked in the field of residential construction and design. With 27 years experience, he has an in depth understanding of what makes a house design work.
Jack has had a strong interest in designing healthful, energy efficient homes since the beginning of his career. Whether the design incorporates passive solar heating or is a conventionally heated home, Jack tries to incorporate many of the same principles, such as letting in lots of natural light and visually connecting the indoors and outdoors, and having a feeling of openness in the floor plans.
By using innovative materials and insulation methods, as well as modern heating and cooling equipment, that provide high levels of energy efficiency, Jack's designs pay close attention to ensuring plenty of fresh, clean air in the home and minimizing situations such as the trapping of humidity and the promoting of mold growth.
