Mashup Theory: BIM System and Passive Solar Design are the two effective tools to realize sustainability
Sustainability leader Hunter Lovins once called the building industry "dynamically conservative — it works hard to stay in the same place." New buildings can be designed to be solar oriented, naturally heated and cooled, naturally lit and ventilated, and made with renewable, sustainable materials–no matter the location or climate. But old habits cannot fully address new challenges.In nature, nothing is perfectly square, and organisms orient themselves by the sun. Both truths explain the fresh design of the “net zero” Zona home. It features a main residence and guest cottage/studio, both with American football-shaped footprints to minimize the considerable cooling demands of homes in Southern climes.
Architecture is an essential arena for sustainable innovation.In this comprehensive overview of passive solar design, two of America’s solar pioneers give homeowners, architects, designers, and builders the keys to successfully harnessing the sun and maximizing climate resources for heating, cooling, ventilation, and daylighting.The only way to draw the inside of a football with accuracy is with 3D BIM software like ArchiCAD.
You can walk though the building and see how dramatic these spaces really are. You can understand the uniquely shaped spaces, including the thermal qualities of volumes two stories deep. You can experiment with different materials, colors, textures, and furniture placements inside and out.

You need to consider: How much energy does this device consume? How long does it run? And how do you capture the benefits with techniques like efficient insulation? You need to end up with a surplus instead of a deficit. Architects have a historic opportunity to transform its impact for the better.
