consulting projects

Solterre's philosophy is to work with the client to develop economically feasible strategies for maximizing energy efficiency and sustainable design solutions. Experience has shown that green design, and highly energy efficient buildings can be built for little or no additional capital cost when the decisions are made early in the process by an integrated design team.

Establishing the client’s green priorities with the project team is the first step, from which green strategies can be implemented to fit the defined goals. We can assist by facilitating an Integrated Design Process early in the design stages.
