E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is a podcast dedicated to energy efficient home building in cold climate areas of New England. For the month of October we are very excited to have some stellar female guests join us on the podcast. The movement #moveoverbob is gaining some traction on highlighting the brilliant women who work in the construction industry. So today we had the pleasure of talking with Patrice Cappelletti of Live Solar Maine. Patrice and I have been working together for years. What I love most about working with her is her attitude. She’s fun, she’s thoughtful, she’s non-combative when an issue comes up and she’s fearless. She’s willing to try anything. People who meet Patrice instantly love her energy. Being a woman and general contractor, she felt that creating nests comes naturally for her. So here’s a little glimpse into the dynamic relationship that exists when building with Patrice.

Patrice has 20 plus years’ experience as an entrepreneur in Maine, most recently working in real estate and development. She is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island, with a B.S. in Textiles, Merchandising & Design. Her love for construction began while developing a 5 lot subdivision of luxury ski homes in the mountains of western Maine. After working with “typical” builders, she felt the industry was in need of a more creative, soulful eco-friendly process for building homes.
With a passion for the outdoors, naturally, Patrice gravitated towards the building net-zero homes in harmony with the elements here in Maine. After years of research and building relationships within the industry, Patrice built her own net-zero home. She has become proficient in managing the process of building highly functional, thoughtfully designed, creative net-zero homes. Her passion for green building is unprecedented, and she hopes she can share that passion throughout your personal home building experience.
