Things worth considering early on in the new home design process
Solar Orientation: An important consideration is how your new home will sit on your building lot. We like to look at and take advantage of solar whenever possible, whether it be passive or active or simply to be used at some point in the future.
Existing Topography: It is often said that “the best house lots have already been built upon”. Therefore many buildable lots, especially in urban settings may contain less than ideal conditions. We always strive to design homes that not only fit the needs and desires of our clients but also make best use of existing land characteristics. In other words, we will design your home to fit your lot. Remember, do not settle on a home design until you have settled on your site design. It is common for clients to try and put the home of their dreams on a building site that does not lend itself to the house they have chosen.
Energy Efficiency: The designers at Energy Geeks have a long history of striving to make buildings more energy efficient. Many of our field technicians work in this part of the home service industry every day. Our designers offer reasonable suggestions on how to make relatively minor changes during the design phase that may result in substantial payoffs in the form of increased comfort for the occupants, lower utility bills, and higher resale values.
Environmental Sustainability: Our designers naturally specify building products and appliances that are not only durable but are also certified to be environmentally friendly.
Lifetime Livability: Here at Energy Geeks we believe that owners should have the option of living in their dream homes for the rest of their lives. Therefore we pay close attention to doorways, lighting, kitchens and bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry, storage, level changes, fire and safety and more, to make sure that persons of all abilities can comfortably live in their home well into the golden years.
