Sustainable Design

There is an increasing awareness of the need to rethink the customary manner of building specification, design and construction for structures that may exist for decades if not centuries.

Consider the following: Over the fifty-year lifetime of the average home, utilities will consume $250,000 of your income. It is possible to save at least 60% of this cost by utilizing simple and proven Sustainable Design concepts.

Sustainable Design requires the perspective of long-term economics, tempered with the realities of available capital.

ENTECH provides design and specification development consistent with good practice that will yield substantial economic rewards to the owners of these structures.  We incorporate the new technologies with equipment that has proven to be effective. Full consideration is given to integration of the building orientation, its profile, the mechanical, electrical, and control elements to maximize the performance of the structure.

We have developed an economic analysis that looks at the cost of installing a 1,600 watt solar electric system at time of construction.  This is just one component of Sustainable Design, and it is intended to show how a long-term perspective will yield tremendous savings.
