[4] Low-energy systems, healthy materials, and prefabricated and modular construction methods were implemented to accomplish this efficient and sustainable design.
[1] Development in the region began in the 1970s with secluded settlements to accommodate avid cross-country skiers, naturalists, and outdoor adventurers who actively used the land.
[1] This case-study was used as an opportunity to test ways and means to reach net-zero in building emissions while situated off-the-grid, nearly 15 kilometers (9 miles) away from the nearest city.
[3] High performance triple-pane glazing is used to maximize views outside and promote daylighting, while allowing solar gain in the winter and eliminating it in the summer.
[4] With the firm's commitment to promote and maintain the health and well-being of the site and the building occupants, they chose materials to contribute to the holistic design approach and eliminated harmful substances.
[4] This allowed for the building to be quickly installed in the summer and decreased the amount of equipment that needed to be delivered to the remote site which heavily contributed to reducing the project’s carbon footprint.
