Update from our Midcentury for the Next Century project: new air barrier (@TheHenryCompany), wood fiberboard insulation (Steico), and @AlpenHPP triple-glazed windows..This will be a new, sleeker, smarter, sophisticated (and dry) animal with the same skeleton!

Fall is here! Don't have a heat pump? Check out our latest newsletter where we discuss things you should know and complete before making the switch. We also hope to see you at many of these great events in the next few weeks: https://t.co/7RhuiU53wK #heatpump #decarbonization

[TBDArchitects @TBDArchitects]

With rising energy costs, financial incentives, and the climate crisis at our door, people are thinking about switching out their gas furnace for a heat pump. Check out our latest post to learn what you need to consider before making the switch https://t.co/WTkjWVrKb3 #heatpump

Happy Earth Day! The process of crafting a community-wide Climate Plan for #OakPark is in full swing, with the Village’s climate plan team reviewing feedback and writing the first draft of the plan. Residents are invited to share their input directly at https://t.co/xG3YimcgUi.

TBDA has been a signatory to the AIA 2030 commitment for 6 years, and achieving the energy reduction target for the last 4 years; this year our portfolio achieved 91% reduction off of baseline. Join us. The time is now. #sustainability #netzeroemissions #Arch2030

[TBDArchitects @TBDArchitects]

@4passivehouse Exactly what we do in our work. We could conserve more by not having any windows, for instance, but we use energy modeling and artistry to find the balance.

[TBDArchitects @TBDArchitects]

More planning fun: how to incorporate a small pool into a narrow-lot project. And yes, like all of our projects, we’re designing for #NetZero energy — once we settle on a plan direction we start energy modeling alongside our drawings so we’re sure we get solar PV on the roof.

[TBDArchitects @TBDArchitects]

@4passivehouse Even with airtight, superinsulated, ERV, etc, this geometry may push us beyond Heating Demand metric; but we can make Net Zero on site, creating the owner’s dream. A dogmatic approach could preclude that.

[TBDArchitects @TBDArchitects]

Join us today!
As part of the Houses of Tomorrow: Solar Homes from Keck to Today exhibition at @ElmhurstArt , Tom will be on a panel with fellow architects to share how our current work has contributed to a more efficient and sustainable design. https://t.co/1MkpeADon9
