Solar & Geothermal Strategies for Net-Zero Buildings

Our buildings achieve net-zero status by integrating solar arrays and geothermal systems, leveraging their highly efficient building envelopes and substantial thermal mass. Exterior insulation and airtight design reduce heating and cooling needs, while solar panels meet electricity demands with renewable energy.

Geothermal systems provide efficient heating and cooling by using the earth’s stable temperatures. Combined with hydronic heating and cooling elements in the concrete thermal mass, these systems maintain consistent indoor climates with minimal energy use. This integration ensures our buildings exceed energy efficiency standards, offering sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly living spaces.

Using Thermal Activation for Energy Efficiency

The Kiwi Precast System is built for energy efficiency, with insulation placed on the exterior of the precast concrete walls. This design allows the concrete to act as a thermal reservoir, using its mass to regulate indoor temperatures.

The concrete absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night, helping maintain stable temperatures inside the building regardless of outdoor conditions. Embedded water lines further enhance this process, circulating heated or cooled water through the structure to provide consistent temperature control. This approach reduces energy consumption and operational costs while creating a comfortable, eco-friendly environment.
