Beyond Materials
An efficient house doesn't just depend on insulated walls; it depends on how it interacts with its environment. Bioclimatic Design is the art of taking advantage of available natural resources (sun, wind, vegetation) to minimize energy consumption.
Principles We Apply
- Solar Orientation: We design your house to capture the sun's heat in winter and shield from it in summer through calculated eaves.
- Cross Ventilation: We strategically place windows to generate natural air currents that cool the house without the need for air conditioning.
- Thermal Inertia: We use materials that store heat during the day and release it gently at night.
Real Savings
A Canadian house with bioclimatic design can reduce heating and cooling demand by up to 60%. It is a smart investment that pays for itself over time.
