PASSIVE SOLAR DESIGN
Sustainable Sedona seamlessly integrates passive solar design into its projects, emphasizing eco-friendly architecture. This strategy optimizes building orientation, materials, and layouts to harness sunlight for natural heating, cooling, and lighting, reducing energy use and environmental impact.
Key elements of their design include carefully placed windows, walls, and roofs to maximize winter solar gain and minimize summer heat. They utilize high thermal mass materials, like concrete and stone, to store daytime heat and release it at night, maintaining indoor comfort. Shading devices such as overhangs, louvers, and plants further prevent summer overheating.
This energy-efficient approach lowers dependence on mechanical systems, reducing utility costs, carbon emissions, and enhancing year-round temperature consistency. Natural daylighting not only reduces electricity use but creates healthier, more enjoyable indoor spaces.
Committed to sustainability and occupant well-being, Sustainable Sedona champions passive solar design, ensuring both environmental and economic benefits for clients. Let us know what your think!
