The Earth and its ecosystems are excellent models for Sustainable Design. It’s common sense. In balance, one organism’s waste is another’s resource. As in nature, many of the most effective solutions, such as building orientation and passive solar control, are the most efficient and the least expensive. At A.K. Smith Architects, we establish sustainable goals and objectives at the very beginning of every successful green building project.
