Maximizing insulation, optimizing
window placement, and
incorporating passive solar design
strategies.
Implementing rainwater
harvesting, greywater recycling,
and low-flow fixtures to reduce
water consumption.
Prioritizing the use of locally
sourced, renewable, and recycled
materials with low embodied
energy.

Bamboo Reclaimed Wood Cork
A fast-growing, renewable
resource with exceptional
strength-to-weight ratio and low
environmental impact.
Salvaged wood from old buildings
or structures, minimizing the
need for new timber harvesting.
A renewable, biodegradable, and
thermally insulating material
harvested from cork oak trees.

Strategies
Orientationand
Placement
Thermal Mass Shading and
Ventilation
Positioning a building to
maximize exposure to
the sun and minimize
heat gain or loss.
Incorporating materials
with high thermal mass
to absorb and store
heat for later release.
Using overhangs,
landscaping, and natural
airflow to regulate
temperature and reduce
cooling needs.
