Project Overview
Premier SIPs Install, Bertschi School Science Wing, Seattle WA (credit Restorative Design Collective)
This amazing education building project was designed PRO-BONO by the Restorative Design Collective and is just 40 days from completion!!! This project is on target to be the first living building in Washington State. What does ‘living’ status mean? A building must meet and prove all requirements of the challenge through a full year of occupancy and operation. A living building must generate all its own energy, and capture and treat all its own water among other requirements.
Premier SIPs helped to meet this ‘living’ target….by providing airtight insulation through an extremely tight roof, little onsite construction waste and enhanced energy efficiency. We are so proud to be part of the Science Wing of this green education facility!!
