Sustainable Design

Investigation and research are a key component to design at TLCD Architecture, especially as it relates to high performance and sustainable design. Beyond meeting codes and mandatory standards, we seek to investigate the possibilities that can make each project as healthy, and resource and energy efficient as possible.

We are leaders in using the most advanced tools for analyzing and tuning buildings for optimum efficiency and user comfort. We also draw a broad range of healthy and resource efficient building materials from our extensive interior design library.
