The Architect’s Compact
Design buildings as minimal consumers and generators of
energy and other resources.
Use building materials that benefit the environment
throughout their lifecycle
Construct buildings with inspiring and health-giving
internal environments
Site buildings so they foster community
Revitalize cities to capitalize on their inherent efficiency.

BIPV
Photovoltaic cells and arrays, also known as solar panels, convert
sunlight into electrical energy. Now being used in a number of building
applications, including shingles and fenestration, photovoltaics are
becoming a common onsite renewable energy source. Whether roof-
mounted or built into the design, solar cells are connected in series to
achieve proper voltages. The energy produced can either be stored in
batteries or tied directly to the municipal grid. In some cases, you may
qualify for tax credits or rebates when purchasing and installing
photovoltaic panels. You also may be able to sell the extra energy you
produce back to your local utility.

BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAICS (BIPV)
The term "thin-film silicon" typically refers to silicon-based PV devices other
than amorphous silicon cells and single-crystalline silicon cells (where the
silicon layer is thicker than 200 micrometers). These films have high
absorptivity of light and may require cell thicknesses of only a few micrometers
or less. Nanocrystalline silicon and small-grained polycrystalline silicon –
considered thin-film silicon – may be able to replace amorphous silicon alloys
as the bottom cell in multijunction devices. As with other thin films, advantages
include the savings of material, monolithic device design, use of inexpensive
substrates, and manufacturing processes that are low temperature and
possible over large areas.

Water
•Use low impact development principles. •Use vegetated swales and depressions to reduce runoff. •Reduce and filter surface runoff. •Use pervious paving materials.
•Consider incorporating green roofs into the project. •Storm water collection systems.
