About this episode
In this episode, we dive into key design elements that make a home truly energy-efficient and sustainable. Mark and Alison are joined by guest Amanda Weglinski, Design Project Manager with the Bensonwood Design Group and key contributor to the recent launch of Bensonwood's OpenHome product offerings. Together they explore smart siting for natural solar gain, efficient layouts, and multi-use spaces that reduce the home’s footprint. You'll also learn how material choices, shorter MEP runs, and native landscaping make a lasting impact on the resiliency of a design.
