case study zero

Case Study Zero was self guided research project executed in 2020 with support and funding provided by the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Over the last 30 years the building industry has seen massive advancements in the push to combat climate change, even as the headwinds of climate change denial grew more intense. Despite the vocal skepticism, the building industry has seen a wealth of responsibly sourced and sustainably manufactured bio-based materials available for use in all layers of any homes construction. This Case Study home is designed on that fundamental concept. The site and program were derived from a past project in the studio and these variables were selected in order to provide a real world baseline for level setting and comparison to the final WBLCA comparison.
