Joel Boyer's profile

Home of Innovation

During my time as an in-house illustrator, I Assisted in the development of large-format prints and high-definition animations for an international client, SABIC.
My duties on the team included: 3d modeling, texturing, storyboarding, animation, compositing and rendering.
A 38 percent reduction in overall energy use compared to villas of similar size, thanks to an airtight (< 1.0 ACH) thermal shell of insulated concrete forms and high-performance fenestration, a structural system supported by proper building orientation and deep roof overhangs that helps control solar heat gain. 

A pair of four-ton, variable-speed heat pumps and a single mini-split unit to regulate indoor comfort. A robust fresh-air ventilation and filtration system maintains healthy air quality.

A 28-kW solar array on the roof, as well as a pair of solar thermal collectors to further reduce energy demand from the local power grid. The House is designed to achieve a net-zero energy balance.

A combination of low-flow plumbing fixtures, faucets and appliances and grey/rain water reclamation for the irrigation of native, drought-tolerant landscaping deliver a 40 percent reduction in potable water use, addressing Saudi Arabia’s extreme scarcity of fresh water resources.
