THOUGHTFUL
We can reduce the carbon impact of buildings through careful material selection, appropriate house design, size and siting as well as informed building practices. Conscious choices will improve our homes and protect our resources. Planning for the future includes thoughtful designs (universal design) which will allow people to remain in their homes longer as their abilities change with age.
SUSTAINABLE
High Performance homes need 75- 90% less energy. They are more comfortable, durable, and healthy. We are now able to calculate the Global Warming Potential of our building assemblies and make more sustainable and informed choices. Passive House, LEED and The Living Building Challenge are frameworks for building more beautiful, sustainable and healthy homes.
RESILIENT
With the changing climate and more frequent extreme weather events we need to reconsider how we build. Roofing and siding choices that withstand flying embers , hail and wind and construction methods such as FORTIFIED Gold™ which reinforce the continuous load path, should not be an afterthought but a standard.
