Green design = Smart design

Buzzer words abound these days when it comes to energy efficient, healthy buildings. We have all heard these terms:

• passive
• recycled
• repurposed
• eco-friendly
• LEED certified
• net-zero
• low impact

TZA has always believed that good design must consider the environmental impact of the work both as a process and a product. We are constantly researching the latest materials and technologies to make our buildings healthier and more energy efficient. We encourage the use of local, natural materials that are non-toxic and sustainably produced so that our buildings are good investments for our clients and for our communities.
