Introduction
Sustainability is not a feature; it is a necessity. At Trygve Studio, we design buildings that give back to the environment. This guide explores how green design creates healthier livable spaces and significantly reduces long-term operational costs.
Passive Cooling & Solar Orientation
The most sustainable energy is the energy you never use. We orient our buildings to minimize heat gain and maximize natural airflow.
- Strategic shading with vertical and horizontal fins
- Using thermal mass to maintain internal temperature
- Maximizing daylight without the glare
Renewable Integration
We integrate renewable energy sources directly into the architectural design, ensuring they are aesthetically pleasing components.
- Net-zero solar panel integration
- Rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling
- Smart energy storage systems
Ecological Material Selection
Low-carbon materials are the foundation of our builds. We look for materials with low embodied energy and high durability.
- Recycled and locally sourced stone/earth
- Low-VOC paints and non-toxic finishes
- High-performance insulation for thermal efficiency
Expert Methodology
"Every project undergoes a Sustainability Audit, where we measure the project's carbon footprint and water efficiency against a 50-year lifecycle."
