Today we can draw on our experience and knowledge, from the last three decades, to incorporate the latest in energy-efficient materials, system components, and sustainable design ideas into our overall philosophy of the built environment. Peter Paino
We have been involved in green design and sustainable building since 1980. The first homes we built were passive solar, energy-efficient custom designs. They followed simple design and construction principles that are still relevant today. Our early designs, built over 35 years ago, have a proven track record of energy efficiency and livability.
From our earliest beginnings, we were always looking for new materials and building components to provide our clients with the most reasonable solution to reduce energy consumption. We started this process with site selection, building orientation, and basic design tools studied in architecture school. Today we can draw on our experience and knowledge, from the last three decades, to incorporate the latest in energy-efficient materials, system components, and sustainable design ideas into our overall philosophy of the built environment. In today's environment, there are many more tools available to assist us in the design and construction of our projects. We study numerous new products and building systems to determine which will work in helping us to provide our clients with the most cost-effective solution. Our work in this field is ever-expanding and can range from simple energy-saving options to a complete building system.
