B Environmental Studio, LLC is an architecture firm that works hand in hand with clients and contractors to ensure that each and every aspect of our designs meets the highest quality standards. Construction is an amazingly complex process that is not very well regulated--especially the residential sector. It is challenging to get the entire project team pointed in the same direction and to make sure they are all involved throughout the process. The key to successful projects is to educate everybody about the reasons for sustainable construction practices. Clients are typically the last one to know if things have gone poorly--and therefore taken advantage of. Our expert architectural staff ensures that does not happen. Our collective 27 years of expertise in sustainable design practices in the construction industry have afforded us many wonderful relationships and great experiences. We have an amazingly diverse background in a multitude of building types and would welcome the opportunity to create a sustainable project for you. Our Design Philosophy is taken from the widely recognized definition of sustainability: ...to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. Our design solutions: ...Promote the "Not So Big House" design strategy …Retain trees - mature trees increase property values by 10-20% …Integrate building systems to reduce operating and construction costs …Optimize material use by designing for standard material sizes …Precisely size HVAC equipment - we do not use rules-of-thumb …Promote passive solar, daylighting and natural energies …Improve indoor air quality …Reduce energy use by 40-80%
