Elevation Passive

> ElevationPassive focuses on reducing energy demand at the earliest stages of a project by integrating passive design principles into your concept design. This service helps architects achieve sustainability goals while minimizing operational and capital costs.

While sustainable building systems are often emphasized, passive design addresses the root cause of energy demand, offering an opportunity to significantly lower a building’s long-term environmental impact. Passive strategies can reduce cooling loads, optimize daylighting, and enhance natural ventilation, all while supporting a building’s overall performance.

Our service includes a comprehensive evaluation of key passive design measures, such as 360° orientation analysis, shading strategies, and building envelope performance. This allows us to pinpoint opportunities to design out energy demand before introducing efficiency measures or renewable energy solutions.

The goal of ElevationPassive is to embed data-driven, actionable insights into the design process, ensuring projects are set up for long-term sustainability.

At Elevation Carbon, we use advanced parametric simulations through platforms like IES VE to analyze and optimize passive measures tailored to your project. This ensures your concept designs achieve the highest level of performance from the very start.

We work closely with architects and design teams to align our recommendations with their vision, balancing sustainability with functionality and aesthetic goals. Our tailored reports not only help achieve sustainability certifications but also establish benchmarks for future projects, maximizing the positive impact of your design.
