12 CORE Principles for Healthy Building Design
CORE Principle 01
Architectural Design & Site Planning
Healthy-home design begins before the floor plan is finalized.
SENERGY360 evaluates how the architecture responds to the site, climate, solar exposure, prevailing winds, environmental conditions, surrounding exposures, and the needs of the people who will live in the home.
We work with the architect and design team early so the home's orientation, floor plan, glazing, mechanical spaces, electrical equipment, technology, plumbing, lighting, and other major systems can be considered together.
SENERGY360 helps guide:
- Site and environmental assessment
- Climate and weather exposure
- Solar orientation and passive design
- Drainage and water-management considerations
- Radon and soil-gas potential
- Outdoor air quality and wildfire smoke exposure
- External EMF/RF and environmental exposures where applicable
- Natural daylight and indoor-outdoor relationships
- Floor-plan and building-system coordination
- Accessibility, adaptability, and long-term livability
Healthy building starts with good planning—not corrections made during construction.
One of 12: Architectural Design & Site Planning
Every principle is stronger when the other eleven are in the room.
SENERGY360 coordinates all twelve from early design through final verification.
