Sustainable Design

With over one million square feet of passive house certified projects, we work with our clients to deliver the most cost effective solutions to meet each project’s specific needs and vision.

We integrate high performance building at every step of the process, including WUFI passive energy modeling, thermal bridging analysis, solar geometry and daylight simulation, and streamlining stretch energy code compliance.

We evaluate cost-effective solutions for environmentally sustainable materials on every project, from healthy, low-emitting interior finishes to low upfront carbon systems like mass timber construction.

As a leader in flood resilient zoning and design guidelines, Utile has assisted several municipalities in developing strategies and standards for urban design, adaptations, and long-term coastal resilience.
