Can architects achieve high-performance sustainable design
without hampering the creative process? Can we meet rigorous targets like 2030,
Passive House, and Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) without impacting our
desired poetry-of-place? Today, we have all the techniques and components
needed to meet the AIA 2030 Commitment and beyond without sacrificing aesthetic
freedom or affordability, even in the most challenging climates. A
conservation-first, keep-it-simple approach using advanced energy modeling and
passive design strategies allows architects to seamlessly merge environmental
and design goals. With practice, these skills and tools can be incorporated
into an architect’s daily routine empowering the industry to create a more
sustainable, healthy, and resilient future. Innovative building case studies
will be presented covering process and details, integration of energy modeling,
and highlighting how architects can push boundaries and write their own
language in green building.
