Improving the Built Environment through Research, Design, and Technology

Solar & Renewables

Since its founding in 1972, SWA has been a steadfast proponent for the application of renewable energy in both commercial and residential buildings. SWA continues to be a major contributor in the research, development and application of sophisticated renewable energy technologies that will ultimately result in economically feasible, attractive, net-zero energy buildings. SWA excels in blending renewable energy technologies such as passive solar, solar-thermal and solar-electric into its advanced whole-house design philosophy.
