Conventional buildings typically use a tremendous amount of power throughout the year for heating, cooling, lighting, and moving people.   But, what if buildings actually produced more energy than they consumed?   This is known as "Less-Than-Zero" Energy Deisgn.

Our structures are designed to literally harvest the energy that falls upon them every day, not only to be self-sustaining, but to actually contribute back the energy embodied during their construction.

The Catalyst Architecture Design Team is truly a catalyst for change within the paradigm of construction thought.   We are exploring new opportunities everyday to go beyond merely "green," or "energy-efficient" design, towards an architectural model which actually uses Less-Than-Zero net energy. One that creates energy, and solutions, for the benefit of mankind... and our planet.
