Services
Architectural Design
We create custom architectural solutions for residential and commercial projects using sustainable materials and energy-efficient principles. Our designs integrate passive-solar strategies and BIM technology to optimize functionality while reducing environmental impact. Clients benefit from tailored spaces that meet specific needs while maintaining budgetary constraints through precise cost analysis and material selection.
Energy Consulting
Our energy consulting services evaluate building performance through PHIUS+ standards and life-cycle assessments. We implement passive-solar strategies, thermal modeling, and energy-efficiency measures to reduce utility costs by up to 70%. Clients receive detailed reports on ROI optimization and environmental impact reductions across seven critical areas including global warming potential and acidification.
Building Information Modeling
We utilize 4D BIM technology to simulate construction processes and analyze cost-performance data before project commencement. This allows for precise visualization of exteriors, interiors, and structural systems while identifying potential issues early in the design phase. Clients benefit from reduced construction risks and optimized design efficiency through real-time data integration.
Passive-Solar Design
Our passive-solar designs maximize natural heating and cooling through strategic window placement, thermal mass materials, and sheltering overhangs. This approach reduces HVAC requirements by shifting peak cooling loads and storing daytime solar gain. Clients achieve significant energy savings while maintaining natural daylighting and views in residential and commercial spaces.
Sustainable Architecture
We specialize in creating LEED-certified and PHIUS+ compliant buildings that balance ecological responsibility with functional design. Our services include life-cycle cost analysis, material selection, and energy modeling to achieve net-zero energy performance. Clients receive structures that minimize environmental impact while maximizing long-term value through reduced operating costs and enhanced occupant comfort.
Questions
What sustainable design certifications do you offer?
We provide LEED AP certification consulting and design to PHIUS+ 2018 standards for energy-efficient buildings.
Can you handle both residential and commercial projects?
Yes, we specialize in residential homes, commercial developments, and institutional buildings with sustainable design solutions.
How do passive-solar strategies reduce energy costs?
Our designs use strategic window placement and thermal mass to capture winter heat and block summer sun, reducing HVAC needs by up to 70%.
What areas do you serve?
We operate throughout Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, and surrounding regions for architectural and consulting projects.
How does BIM technology benefit construction projects?
BIM allows 4D simulation of buildings to identify issues early, optimize material usage, and reduce construction risks through precise digital modeling.
What energy analysis services are available?
We offer EEM evaluations, life-cycle cost analysis, and whole-building LCA assessments to optimize energy efficiency and environmental impact.
