Our natural environment is changing. To embrace those changes, ENGINEERING DOMAIN's architecture design philosophy goes beyond sourcing green building materials. We believe creating sustainability requires paying attention to your land’s natural features and the highest use of space, your property’s water and energy needs, all coupled with your desire for efficiency, conservation, and resource storage. Keeping your design and lifestyle requirements in the forefront, together we’ll create beautiful, healthful environments that are both sustainable and resilient.

As our architectures create design solutions, we work as responsible stewards of our resources, communities and planet. Sustainability and high-performance design are part of our culture, and our sustainability experts coach and advise our design teams. Our specialties include: healthy materials analysis, design for well-being, energy analysis, resilience design, ventilation and computational fluid dynamics, carbon accounting,

The five principles of sustainable architecture:

• Healthful interior environment. All possible measures are to be taken to ensure that materials and building systems do not emit toxic substances and gasses into the interior atmosphere. Additional measures are to be taken to clean and revitalize interior air with filtration and plantings.

• Resource efficiency. All possible measures are to be taken to ensure that the building's use of energy and other resources is minimal. Cooling, heating, and lighting systems are to use methods and products that conserve or eliminate energy use. Water use and the production of wastewater are minimized.

• Ecologically benign materials. All possible measures are to be taken to use building materials and products that minimize the destruction of the global environment.

• Environmental form. All possible measures are to be taken to relate the form and plan of the design to the site, the region, and the climate.

• Good design. All possible measures are to be taken to achieve an efficient, long-lasting, and elegant relationship of area use, circulation, building form, mechanical systems, and construction technology. Symbolic relationships with appropriate history, the Earth, and spiritual principles are to be searched for and expressed. Finished buildings shall be well-built, easy to use, and beautiful.
