Sustainability Statement
In our firm’s architectural practice, we look first toward simple and common sense sustainability strategies. Building orientation, placement of entries, fenestration and exterior envelope are elements that make significant improvements, if placed appropriately. These elements have minimal budget effect and can be implemented on most projects. Using energy modeling to reinforce these strategies has been successful in helping building owners make choices that are sustainable and economically beneficial.
