Sustainability and resiliency can be considered at all scales of your project. Location and context is key when considering the larger systems of the environment such as solar exposure, temperature swings throughout the year, proximity to forest fire potential, water access and renewable energy resources.
We will work with you to design for everything down down to the wall assembly detail, and create an insulated structure that also takes into consideration air quality, mold and mildew mitigation, healthy finishes and the location of windows relative to the sun. In the North Idaho climate, one of the biggest impacts on a more energy efficient structure is insulation, which is why we think through every detail of the roof, walls and floor. There is a balance when considering sustainable design and we will work with you to understand your priorities and implement them within the design and project delivery.
Also, considering building systems and construction types, we offer services to design straw bale homes and commercial projects.
We work with specialists on energy efficient design and zero energy projects with a focus on the Living Building Challenge
Renewable energy sources such as solar, ground-source geothermal
