Sustainable architecture, otherwise known as green home design or eco-friendly architecture, seeks to reduce energy consumption, carbon footprints and the negative environmental impacts of buildings and life within. This is done through a variety of green solutions including the materials used, energy saving systems and the overall design of a building. Designing a home, commercial building or remodel gives one the perfect opportunity to incorporate these energy savings solutions into your plans.

Although one can take measures to improve the energy efficiency of an existing structure by adding solar panels, rain barrels or tankless water heaters, comprehensive green home design starts with the layout of your home or commercial project, taking into consideration everything from its floorplan to how it’s situated within its environment. Sustainable architecture is a holistic approach, a mindfulness incorporated throughout the entire design process.
