Eppstein Uhen office is offsetting 100% of it's power use with renewable energy.
SERVICES
At Eppstein Uhen Architects, we believe it is important to use an integrated design approach to explore methods to create high performance buildings. While understanding that many of our clients desire sustainable buildings, we realize that this needs to be done while keeping first and life-cycle costs in mind. Early integration of sustainable strategies such as commissioning, high performance envelopes, renewable energy systems, etc. will help us to keep the first costs down and allow for more of an opportunity for a long-term payback. Our ultimate goal is to provide a high performance, energy efficient building that meets your functional needs, as well as your sustainable goals.
