www.jwaseattle.com JW Architects seized that opportunity to explore two ideas of critical importance to their firm
Collaboration and high energy performance. The firm has been on a four year journey to design, build and achieve zero energy in their new office building, located at 1257 south king street in seattle.
The building recently received Zero Energy Building Certification from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) only the second office building in Seattle to achieve certification. www.jwaseattle.com
A Zero Energy building is defined by zero net energy consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is equal to or less than the amount of renewable energy produced on the site, www.jwaseattle.com
said Brad Liljequist, who oversees the Zero Energy program for Seattle-based ILFI. “And, certification from ILFI requires actual, rather than anticipated, performance demonstrated over twelve consecutive months.”
In 2014, JW Architects selected the site in the urban core of Seattle for its proximity to their homes, projects, and transit options. The project supports alternate transit with bike parking, showers and clothes storage.
We worked as a team to create a building we could all stand behind,” said Julian Weber, Founding Principal. “Our vision included net-zero energy use, balanced daylighting and flexibility for future growth. Every employee at the firm had a role in the building, making it a uniquely collaborative process.” www.jwaseattle.com
