Built For Architects
Design with Health and Performance Built In
Great architecture goes beyond aesthetics — it shapes how people live, breathe, and feel in a space. The SENERGY360 CORE Systems Framework gives architects a structured lens to integrate health and building science into every design decision, from schematic design through construction administration.
The 8 Core Systems
How architects use each system within the framework.
Building Enclosure
Design envelope assemblies that balance thermal performance, moisture management, and durability. Use the framework to document wall sections, roof assemblies, and foundation details with health and performance in mind.
Materials
Specify materials with confidence — track health certifications, embodied carbon data, and performance characteristics. Build material palettes that align with project wellness and sustainability goals.
Ventilation
Integrate mechanical ventilation into your designs from day one. Coordinate with mechanical engineers to ensure fresh air strategies support occupant health without compromising energy performance.
Lighting
Design lighting that supports circadian health and visual comfort. Balance natural daylighting with electric lighting to create spaces that enhance wellbeing and reduce energy consumption.
Electrical Design
Coordinate electrical infrastructure early in design — accounting for renewable energy, smart systems, and EMF considerations. Ensure electrical design supports both performance and occupant wellness.
Plumbing
Integrate plumbing design with spatial planning and sustainability goals. Specify water-efficient fixtures and plan for treatment systems that protect occupant health.
Water Quality
Design water systems that go beyond code — specifying point-of-entry treatment, distribution materials, and testing protocols that ensure safe, clean water throughout the building.
Interior Wellness
Specify interior environments that prioritize occupant health — from finish materials and acoustics to thermal comfort and air quality. Create spaces where people thrive.
