Passiv Haus, Sustainable, Net-zero Energy, Carbon Neutral, LEED, FSC, USGBC.. the terminology and acronyms change over time, and in fairness, each defines a particular focus on what amounts to resource conservation and micro-site environment-responsive design.. design that actively responds to site micro-climate. This deeper design dive saves the owner on utilities, conserves energy and water, and at the same time increases occupants' thermal comfort and quality of light. We do this by carefully observing, documenting, and using this micro-site environment data as basic design parameters. To us, this is just Good. Basic. Architectural Design! And in the desert Southwest, it is imperative!
Our deep dive, thorough design process takes all relevant site parameters into account, and only then begins to synthesize design solutions which best respond to them and the owner's program. Environmentally-responsive, energy & resource-conserving buildings shouldn't require an add-on service from your architect! Reach out for a demonstration of how this works for your project! |
