Energy Analysis

Energy analysis is critical to establish a logical protocol to improve energy efficiency and determine which renewable energy systems and other sustainable components provide the best value. We are currently working with others on systems to more accurately monitor energy and how it is specifically used before and after the addition of any improvements.

Sustainable Design

Sustainable design should be considered concurrently with site selection and building orientation for new projects or with comprehensive energy assessment data on existing projects.  Careful quantitative and qualitative analysis of all design characteristics, options and possibilities is necessary to assure a functional, comfortable, energy-efficient and sustainably built structure.  We strive to incorporate as many LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design as developed by the U.S. Green Building Council) oriented criteria as are applicable to the building design and the owner’s level of interest.
