The orbit of the Earth around the Sun, the tilt our planet's axis, and the abundance of natural solar energy which falls from the sky every day- these are blessings which we count upon in the design of our buildings.

Through advanced, real-time computer modeling, our Design Team can accurately analyze the amount of sunshine that will penetrate into our buildings. Operable shading devices enable us to precisely emit, or block-out solar gain as the situation requires. This same sunlight can be converted into electricity to provide power for the building's mechanical, lighting, and communications equipment through ever improving photovoltaic technologies.

Through proper management of the sun, we can not only heat water for domestic needs, but can even cool our buildings by using the natural air flows which moves through a structure properly exposured to sunlight and shade.
