Elizabeth Nolan-Greven is the President, business manager and marketing director for EcoSource Inc. Elizabeth and her husband Michael work together in an effort to bring reliable and realistic green building consulting services to clients in the midwest. They also work to promote and install solar photovoltaics as a renewable energy source in Indiana.
Although Elizabeth taught for many years she also spent 15 years working at home while raising her children. She and her husband Michael had a small construction company, Bauwerk, Ltd. from 1989-1996. She was charged with accounting, office management, and payroll. This company was based out of Indianapolis originally, but was moved to Bartholomew County when the Grevens moved there in 1992. An avid organic gardener and active environmentalist, she has also been closely involved in the Green Sanctuary project at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbus, Indiana. The Green Sanctuary committee works to educate the congregation on renewable and eco-friendly changes that they can make to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs.
In 2006 Elizabeth focused on creating the Greven’s new company, EcoSource Inc. This company is promoting Green Construction and Solar Power technologies in order to help individuals, businesses, churches, and communities find the most cost effective way to build energy efficient buildings. EcoSource Inc. has successfully installed several photovoltaic arrays in Indiana and has helped build a LEED GOLD certified residence in Indianapolis. They are expanding their exposure with Elizabeth‘s outreach work and research. One area that EcoSource works in continuously is educating the public about the possibilities of solar energy in the Midwest. Elizabeth also is continually updating her knowledge of technologies and materials in order to provide building owners the most accurate information available. Elizabeth received her Green Associate Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in April 2010. She has completed the administration of LEED certification documentation for a LEED Gold building in central IN and is currently working on another green construction project in Seymour, IN.
