Hello, I’m Janet Dows.
I’ve worked in architecture in Santa Cruz county since 1979; as a licensed architect since 1993. I hold the LEED-AP credential, am a Certified Green Building Professional, and am committed to continue learning about how to make beautiful buildings which are very energy efficient. I have recently become certified as a BPI Building Analyst, focusing on measuring and improving building performance, using tools to measure building air leakage and combustion safety.
We specialize in…
