Why would you modify the building
envelope?
To save energy, of course but it is just as important for the health, comfort, and well-being of the occupants of the building or home. Since the interior environment relates to the physical needs, health, and comfort of the occupants, it is defined in terms of temperature, relative humidity, airflow rate, and air quality. The exterior environment of a home can be modified and comfort increased when a green architect designs around existing trees and other vegetation, plantings, prevailing breezes, windbreaks, and even the soil itself. Garages, overhangs, site orientation, and even the surrounding buildings modify the building envelope. particularly in the case of low-rise buildings. They must all be considered to design a high-performing home or building. Contact Terry Jensen at 972 251-1532 or 817 545-0140.
