Strategic Advisory for High-Performance Buildings
We help owners, developers, and institutions make better building decisions from day one — with a process that unites land intelligence, building physics, and financial clarity.
Feasibility, Site Capacity & Budget Risk Review
A structured process designed to answer the two questions every project faces before design begins:
1. Can we build on this site?
2. Can we afford to build what we envision?
Your feasibility package includes:
Site capacity & buildability analysis
Utility review (integrating civil findings)
Preliminary site planning
Concept building geometry on the site
Early PHPP-informed load & comfort analysis
Sustainability & performance strategy
Conceptual cost band
Investor-ready summary
Design-Phase Owner’s Representative Advisory
We act as your owner-side advisor to align scope, budget, comfort, and performance throughout design.
Includes:
Envelope strategy
PHPP & energy modeling
Mechanical right-sizing
Shading & solar analysis
Humidity & comfort strategy
Budget + scope alignment
Schematic, DD, and CD milestone review
PHPP Modeling & Energy Analysis
Load modeling, comfort simulations, humidity strategy, and preliminary or full Passive House modeling.
Architect RFP Development
A complete, owner-aligned RFP package that sets clear performance, comfort, and cost expectations before design begins.
Investor & Grant Technical Briefs
Performance-based narratives and technical summaries that strengthen investor presentations and grant applications.
Envelope Optimization Package
Compare assemblies, insulation strategies, and thermal-bridge solutions tailored to climate, cost, and durability.
Mechanical Strategy Review
Right-size ventilation, cooling, and humidity systems using building-science-based load pathways.
Construction QA/QC & Commissioning Oversight
Envelope verification, moisture control, mechanical validation, and commissioning oversight.

The Urban Earth Method
A four-part framework aligning land, building physics, and financial performance — from the first decision to final delivery.
Land
Regenerative Site Strategy
We analyze climate, hydrology, solar access, wind, shading, and long-term stewardship. This reduces risk and grounds the project in what the land can naturally support — before design decisions are made.
Building
Envelope-First Passive Design
High-resolution modeling of comfort, humidity, loads, and enclosure performance. We help select assemblies and materials that maximize comfort and long-term durability while lowering operational cost.
Method
Integrated Project Delivery
Owner-aligned decision-making that ties capital, scope, and lifecycle performance together.
Our process keeps design, budgeting, and sequencing synchronized so projects run smoothly with fewer surprises.
Performance
Financial & Comfort Outcomes
We quantify energy, comfort, and operating costs using validated Passive House modeling. This gives owners confidence that every decision contributes to measurable long-term results.
