Passive design can make a big difference in how a home uses energy. 💡🏡

When building her home, Wendy incorporated passive design principles that work with the local climate; from north-facing windows that capture the winter sun to shading and greenery that help keep things cool in summer. 🌿☀️

By designing with energy efficiency in mind, Wendy created a comfortable home that uses less energy year-round.
