IMPACT by DESIGN: The future of Climate Policy and future generation starts in our cities and communities. Dedicated to environmentally responsible design for over three decades our team leaders won 16 awards in open international architectural & urban design competitions, ranking #1 to #5
Master Planning, Sustainable Urban Development and Development Phasing- to ensure that development of any component does not create undue limitation or detriment to existing conditions or sales values - are key steps to future development. Throughout the process, we work to ensure the project actually addresses the needs it was designed to meet
Our consulting services range from defining a project vision, feasibility studies to construction completion. In most situations, either a subdivision or rezoning approval is needed, along with development guidelines that ensure adherence to the adopted plan and fit within the community context
Our team is uniquely qualified enabling us to help them meet their objectives including Value Engineering in construction. We create high performance building enclosures that are durable and energy efficient. Focussing on building envelope performance within the complexity of multiple building systems performance we help to prevent issues associated with water penetration, air leakage, vapor diffusion and optimize thermal performance. Our team provides a full range of Building Science consulting services including renovations, renewals and investigation work on existing buildings:
Building Envelope Consulting: The building envelope can often be one of the most expensive components of the project. It affects numerous other aspects of the building’s performance including energy usage, occupant comfort, durability, maintenance costs and mechanical equipment sizing. Having the right information to make early decisions and manage risks is critical. With a background of Master degree in Architecture/ Engineering Munich University of Applied Science we ensure to stay on top on professional development and newest technology
Air Barrier Consulting: Our holistic approach to roofing, cladding, glazing and waterproofing enables us to offer solutions that consider all aspects of the envelope, as well as the interfaces between building systems
Passive House Consulting: For nearly three decades our team leaders are advocating and applying Passive House principles to voluntarily reduce the building's ecological footprint and increase energy efficiency of their designs. Although it is principally applied to new buildings, it has also been used for refurbishments: Resulting in low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling. 'Passivhaus' standard was developed through a number of German research projects in 1990
