Green Design

Goal

APEX Incorporates Sustainable “Green design” strategies into their designs to provide homes and buildings that are environmentally responsible, healthy, enjoyable places to reside, work, study or visit.

Approach

APEX utilizes a whole building approach to sustainability by recognizing key areas of building performance and incorporating as many strategies that the project budget will allow.

Strategies

Some specific sustainable strategies that are incorporated include:

Building / site orientation
Natural ventilation
Day-lighting techniques
Utilization of responsible materials

High performance glazing
Increased thermal insulation
Alternative fuel sources
Reduced water usage

Improved indoor air quality
Xeriscaping
Light and thermostat controls
Zoned HVAC systems

Alternative Energy Sources

Incorporation of Photovoltaic (PV) or Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) solar energy systems, geothermal heating/cooling systems and wind energy. This could include the research and application of grants and incentives to offset initial costs, return on investment (ROI) studies as well as the complete selection and design of the appropriate system(s).

LEED Certification

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification, which is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance ‘green’ buildings.
