ALLEN’S FIVE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY

Electrification

Reducing operational carbon (occupant usage) by designing or converting home systems to all-electric and offsetting with solar when possible.

Embodied Carbon

Reducing embodied carbon (carbon generated from mining, manufacturing, & transporting) through thoughtful design and selection of low carbon or carbon sequestering materials that make up the home.

Resiliency

Enabling a home to withstand natural disasters and support occupants during blackouts.

Resource Conservation

Designing homes and landscapes with the highest energy and water efficient strategies.

Indoor Health

Promoting healthy air quality inside the home and reducing sound pollution.

LEED

Platinum modern beach house designed by Turturro Design Studio and Alliance Design Group. This home exceeded California energy code by 56% due to its high performance shell, 5.1 kilowatt photovoltaic system, and a solar hydronic system to preheat water for domestic use and radiant heating.
