fuentesdesign would like to thank all our builders, engineers, consultants and clients for an exciting 11 years! With your support, we continue to be a leader in energy efficient design, incorporating innovative building systems and natural building materials. Looking towards our future, energy conservation continues to be an imperative. Following the\u00a02030 Challenge<\/a>, fuentesdesign strives to make each of our new homes zero energy through the combination of renewable energy sources and efficient envelope design incorporating Passive House principles.<\/p>\n
