Building a Green Home? Start on the Right Foot by Selecting a Green Architect for Your Project
(Washington, DC) Are you considering building an energy efficient home? The first step is choosing the right architect to design your home. An Architect's role in a green home design is certainly more than specifying the materials in a building. An architect interprets your dream or vision for an energy efficient home, exploring all possibilities, studying and responding to the site and environment that your home will become an integral part of - and works to continually better that built environment.
An architect enriches the process and the project through integrity, conscientious design, environmental awareness and the application of skills specific to their trade. Homeowners who involve an Architect are ensuring that their welfare and vision are paramount.
Green Architect Jeremy Bonin, AIA NCARB LEED AP wrote an article for the U.S. Green Building Council with tips on how to find a qualified architect for your green home. Bonin is Principal Architect of Bonin Architects & Associates, a LEED accredited professional (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), an award-winning architect and author with a special interest in sustainable design. In the article "Selecting an Architect to Design Your Green Home" Jeremy defines the roles of the client and Architect in the design process, the steps to having a successful relationship with your Architect, and lists valuable sources where you can look to find an Architect for your home.
Make the first right decision in building a green home - choose the right architect. The result will be an home that limits negative impact on the environment, and is energy efficient and cost effective, and a comfortable haven in which your family can thrive.
