Zoetic Architecture

Ben helped us with a Passive House Energy Analysis for a new home we are building in Corvallis. His computer model helped us eliminate the giant gas furnace and cut energy use 70% on this project. He also alerted us to overheating because the house has so many southern facing windows. Ben created about a dozen different scenarios (windows, insulation, upgrades etc.) helping us to choose the best ways to maximize comfort for the added costs. Ben is passionate and well educated about energy savings, he is a great resource for your project.

EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED! Ben designed an addition to our rural fire station which increased square footage about 25%. Our funds were limited and we were constrained by statute on how we could execute the project. After 3 years of trying to figure out how to make it happen, the fire board enlisted Ben's expertise to help move the project forward. He answered our questions, checked out our options, and negotiated the building contract. We weren't able to get everything we wanted, but we got what we desperately needed: a secure vehicle bay with good personnel access and sufficient space in an addition that blends in perfectly with the existing building. Ben dealt well with the various levels of construction experience of the board members. He provided a number of cost saving suggestions that were implemented in the final design. He responded promptly to emails and board questions and requests for status reports. He met with us at the site when requested. The fire board and the fire district residents are very happy with the new addition and we highly recommend his work.
