Learn about our sustainability practices

You'll admire our philosophy of using passive solar energy developed under Ludwig Hilberseimer from IIT Chicago. Using sustainability in design is a benefit to not only you, but the environment.

 

Your building may be designed with more glass facing south than north, depending on the type of building. Using the sun means that your energy usage will be minimal which saves you money.

Building greener architecture and design

One of the things we consider when taking on new tasks are innovations that can help sustain the natural scenery of a property. For instance, we look to use technologies like geothermal heat pumps with both vertical and horizontal collectors as a means to save energy. Another common method we often ask our clients to consider is using large groups of solar panels to heat domestic water.

Trust in many new ways to be sustainable

Looking forward and being ahead of the competition in sustainability is something you can count on when you work with us.
