The strategies we use to create environmentally friendly buildings – super insulated and air tight envelopes, proper ventilation, passive solar design. daylighting, non-toxic materials,– all enhance the comfort of the building inhabitants, lower negative impacts on the natural world and extend the useful lifetime of the building.
