| One of the first things people think about when they think about “green” building is energy efficiency. The Christy Webber Landscapes buildings at Rancho Verde are designed to be 55% more efficient in energy usage than more conventional buildings of this size. While the engineering is elegant and masterful, the basic ideas are simple: make maximum use of the free resources of sun, wind, and earth and when you do flick the switch use the highest performing systems you can find. |
