Designing buildings that generate clean power and reduce long-term operating costs.
Our Approach to Solar Integration
Solar energy is a powerful part of our sustainability strategy. By incorporating photovoltaic systems into new and existing buildings, we support long-term energy resilience, reduce operational carbon, and maximize the benefits of the Pacific Northwest’s daylight patterns.
Our team analyzes roof orientation, shading conditions, energy demands, and utility incentives to design solar solutions that are efficient, effective, and integrated into the building’s overall performance.
Literacy
Understanding the fundamentals behind solar design empowers our clients to make informed, future-focused decisions. We distill complex concepts—orientation, daylight behavior, efficiency metrics, and system types—into clear, actionable insights. This foundation ensures every project begins with a shared understanding of how solar technologies truly perform and the value they deliver.
Application
Translating solar knowledge into built work requires thoughtful integration at every scale. We evaluate roof geometry, structural capacity, utility interconnections, and long-term maintenance considerations to ensure PV systems are seamlessly incorporated into the architecture. Our approach prioritizes performance, constructability, and aesthetics—resulting in solar solutions that enhance both building function and the user experience
