Green Building
Green Design and Building
The green design and building aspect of our work comes into
play both in the design stage, such as attending to natural
light and ventilation and in some cases passive solar gain,
and in the product specification stage. It is important that
we understand the owner’s “green priorities,” and we work
to outline the possibilities. We’ve worked hard to research
what is available and what is practical, and continue to research
and learn w ith each project.
