DESIGN

At id9 Corporation, we believe that every building project should move us closer to a truly sustainable future. Our work is firmly rooted in the AIA 2030 Commitment, aligning each project with the global mission to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in the built environment. Sustainability is not an add-on—it is integrated into every decision we make, from concept through construction.
Design Philosophy
Our approach combines the art of architecture with the science of performance. We emphasize:
- Net-zero carbon principles that guide energy usage, lifecycle costs, and long-term resilience.
- Building envelope management to minimize energy loss, improve indoor comfort, and maximize efficiency.
- Environmentally responsible material choices, prioritizing low-carbon, recycled, and regionally sourced products.
Energy & Performance Strategies
We incorporate layered strategies that address both passive and active systems, ensuring that buildings operate at peak efficiency:
- Passive Design – Orienting buildings to optimize solar gain, shading, and natural ventilation.
- Advanced Envelopes – High-performance insulation, triple glazing, and airtight construction to reduce heating and cooling loads.
- Renewable Energy Systems – Solar panel and solar film integration directly into roofs, façades, and even glazing systems to create power-producing architecture that enhances, rather than detracts from, building aesthetics.
- Radiant Slab Heating & Hydronic Systems – Electric boilers paired with radiant floors to deliver even, energy-efficient comfort.
- Smart HVAC Solutions – Combining tight building envelopes with appropriately scaled active and passive HVAC systems, ensuring maximum performance with minimal waste.
Results
The outcome is architecture that reduces operating costs, minimizes environmental impact, and maximizes human well-being. Our projects demonstrate that it is possible to create buildings that are beautiful, functional, and resilient while also addressing the urgent challenge of climate change.Integrated Project Delivery is a new approach to project delivery where the entire project team works together from the inception of the project, increasing the coordination and collaboration where it is most cost effective. The contractual relationships in an IPD method are shared among the Owner, Architect, Consultants, and Contractor.
