We are proud to be Utah's first Certified Passive House Consultant and we
specialize in the design of low-energy and net-zero-energy buildings. We are
passionate about energy efficiency and renewable energy, but we know that if
something can't be measured, then it can't be meaningfully integrated into a design.
This is why we utilize computer energy modeling during the initial design phase to
accurately determine the energy consumption of different design alternatives, which
allows our clients to choose exactly how they want their building to perform:
net-positive energy production (the building produces more energy than it consumes
annually), net-zero energy consumption (the building produces, on average, as much
energy as it consumes annually), or low energy consumption (the building consumes
an extremely low amount of energy--about 80% less than the 2006 International Energy
Conservation Code, and more than 90% less than the average existing building).
We perform this service in-house using software developed by The Passive House
Institute, one of the world's leading authorities on low energy building physics and
design. This energy modeling software has been proven successful with more than
10,000 housing units built in the last 15 years in many different climate zones.
We believe that we have a responsibility to provide our clients with the very highest
level of aesthetic and technical design. We don't design a building and then see how
much it costs to heat and cool; we ask the client how much energy they want to
consume and then develop designs that meet their goal.
