Sustainable and Performance Homes

Sustainable and Performance Homes

Sustainable and performance homes are dwellings considered through the relationship between construction, comfort, energy use, and environmental performance. Passive houses provide one example of this approach to residential building. Individual projects connect the design and construction of a home with evidence about how it works, distinguishing an environmental identity from demonstrated results in comfort and energy.

Tiny houses make floor area central to residential design, while prefabricated homes shift parts of construction to the factory. Sustainable interior design adds the choice and reuse of furnishings and finishes, connecting the size and assembly of a home with decisions made at room scale.
