He continues to apply green technologies in both residential and commercial applications. Allegretti is a member of the New Mexico Chapter of the US Green Building Council.

Allegretti has given the Santa Fe community many attractive residential and commercial projects.

Green & Sustainable

Additional sustainable technologies are also incorporated appropriately. These include rainwater and grey-water harvesting, xeriscape landscaping and active solar collection. Allegretti is a member of the New Mexico Chapter of the US Green Building Council. His current projects include an off-grid sustainable home in the Santa Fe area. For more than twenty years, Allegretti has lived and raised a family in a sustainable solar home which he designed and built.
