Boulder native Eric Doub founded Ecofutures Building in 1993.  Now, with numerous awards, Ecofutures Building has carved out a rapidly growing niche among the green building cognoscenti in Colorado.  

While pursuing a major in energy studies at Stanford University in the early 80’s, Eric took a few years away from the academic world to gain hands-on experience in active and passive solar, energy efficient home building, and general remodeling.  With this field experience under his belt, he returned to Stanford with a desire to finish his undergraduate degree, and completed his unique, and self-titled major “Sustainable U.S. Resource and Security Policies.”  That foundation of analysis—of present environmental trends and future possibilities in domestic resource use provided the motivation to pursue residential general contracting back home in Boulder, with an emphasis on ecologically sound, healthier, more comfortable homes.

The result of this combination of in-depth analysis and real-world home building is a legacy of ultra high quality green homes and remodels scattered around Northern Colorado, with the centerpiece being the widely heralded zero-energy home “Solar Harvest.”

Today Ecofutures serves customers with the utmost integrity and personal care.  Building practices focus on designing residences with the highest energy efficiency and interior health.  Toward this end Ecofutures constantly strives to use the healthiest and most durable building and interior products available.   Current fashion calls this building style “green”, and there are many who are jumping on the band-wagon with limited knowledge yet proclaiming their green orientation.  To Ecofutures though, it is just sensible building, and a philosophy that has been practiced since inception.
