Prelitz Design + Build, located in Laguna Beach, Ca., designs and constructs aesthetically creative and environmentally friendly commercial projects, custom homes, additions, and remodels
Mission Our mission is to assist in the design and building of beautiful, superbly crafted environments that capture nature's renewable energy for lighting, heating, cooling and power, to enhance the quality of life for all.
Why Buildings consume 70% of the U.S. electricity use, add the energy and carbon embodied in the concrete, steel, glass and materials used to build, and new construction is the largest U.S. carbon polluter.
Goal Our goal is to foster locally appropriate, site-sensitive sustainable design solutions, that increase comfort and safety for the occupants; while lowering the lifetime operating costs and environmental footprint of our built environment.
Reuse or Building New Reusing existing buildings, and modernizing with sustainable design will most always have a lower carbon footprint and lower construction cost than demolition and building new. For renovations and new construction, applying locally appropriate sustainable principles will lower a buildings environmental impact, lifetime operating costs.
