GREEN BUILDING ASSESSMENT
Climate Resilient
Wavefront prepared a Green Building Assessment for two new communities in Tonga as part of a disaster management initiative funded by Rocky Mountain Institute and CFAN to provide housing after a devastating tsunami destroyed a number of villages in 2021. Two community master plans were analyzed according to energy-efficient community design objectives based on topography, sun angles and wind patterns as well as creating a livable, walkable, healthy living environment. Architectural plans were assessed and recommendations made to improve natural cooling of the building interior as well as the use of lower embodied carbon building materials according to the results of the EDGE Green Building Assessment software.
