Site Analysis
Any Portland Building site analysis starts with the identification of the prominent features such as existing vegetation and topography. Preservation of the site’s natural features can result in cost savings associated with reduced landscaping cost, energy conservation from shading, and reduced water use. Woods, woodlands, lakes, trails and streams are important amenities that should be preserved. Protecting these site features when building can result in higher property values. We examine where the building will be placed because it can have a great influence on the effectiveness of passive design strategies, particularly as they relate to solar radiation and wind.
