There are several ways to think about thoughtfully designed and constructed buildings -

​

1. Carefully siting buildings to take advantage of solar gain and to avoid building in flood plains or ecologically sensitive areas.

2. Mindful material selection reduces the building's carbon footprint and increases the indoor air quality.

3. Thoughtful design can provide flexible living spaces, and allow for occupants to age in place. 

4. A simpler building envelope uses less materials and is easier to insulate and make airtight.

5. Making use of helpful technology like smart thermostats, light sensors, LED lights, induction cook-tops and ranges, and humidity sensing bathroom fans.
