High-Performance Building

What is a high-performance building? Does it mean LEED-certified buildings that are energy and water-efficient? Facilities that are people-friendly and get high marks from occupants for creature comforts?  

Yes! A high-performance building is all those things and more… Whether fan speeds, fire safety, landscaping, or lighting efficiency. It means thinking on both a micro and macro level about how building systems interact, and how building occupants interact with those systems. It is considering every aspect of the home, accessibility, fresh air, aesthetics, safety, ADA compliance, economics, and even artwork.

High-Performance House Principles

Big Blue builders keep several principles at the front of their minds when building, including: 

  • Comfort

  • Health

  • Efficiency

  • Durability

The idea is to enhance the insulation and thermal isolation in the design of the home using …

  • Advanced building envelopes

  • Heat recovery ventilation

  • High-performance windows and doors

Aside from the fact that HPB homes lay the foundation for a green energy grid thanks to their ability to reduce the demand on the power grid, HPB houses come with an exceedingly high number of benefits — the top being: 

  • Higher air quality

  • Uniform temperatures in your home

  • Lower utility costs

  • Low exterior maintenance requirements

  • Creature comfort

"High-performance" is how those in the industry will think about and define successful buildings in the future.

ROI of a High-Performance Home

There is a commonly held perception that high-performance buildings are expensive, which often creates a barrier to adopting high-performance benchmarks. However, research shows that the long-term financial benefits of HPBs outweigh the initial costs of investment, save energy, save water, cost less to operate, produce less waste, and have more satisfied occupants compared with typical buildings. In short, they deliver cost savings and tenant satisfaction.

It’s all about the Details. Details. Details.
