Over the span of nearly a decade, Chambers Design developed a easy 5-Step strategy for evaluating and implementing green features to green projects.  Each step builds on each other to intensify performance, energy savings, morphology, water conservation, indoor comfort and other aspects.  The 5-Step strategy allows projects to achieve high levels of greenness without needing additional capital to do so...in other words, at no additional cost.  The strategy can be applied to residential, commercial, retail, institutional, governmental, healthcare and other types of projects. 
The Steps are:

• Climatic Connectivity
• Computational Analysis
• Energy Efficiency
• Materials/Resources
• Renewable Energy Integration
