Buildings That Perform
Locus 218 helps architects, designers, builders, and homeowners get buildings right. Not just on paper but in the real world.
Start a projectIt's all grounded in one idea: a building is a system, and every piece has to work with every other piece.
In geometry, a locus is the point where every condition is satisfied at once. Building well is an exercise in finding the point where durability, health, comfort, efficiency, sustainability, and cost all hold true together.
To get there, we provide:
- building science expertise
- energy modeling
- efficient HVAC design
- construction consulting
Why performance matters
Durability
Assemblies that keep water and vapor moving out of the structure, so it stays dry for decades.
Health
Continuous fresh air, low-VOC materials, and radon kept out.
Comfort
No drafts, no hot or cold spots, and a quiet interior.
Efficiency
A fraction of the energy of a typical home.
Sustainability
Low operating carbon, all-electric systems, and buildings built to last long enough to earn back what went into them.
Cost
Measured as total cost of ownership, not just the build budget. Lower utility and operating costs are built in.
