the Windsor Construction Association, Windsor & District Chamber of Commerce, and the Essex Region Conservation Authority. His work has also been published in numerous periodicals, newspapers, and magazines. Joseph has also been a member of Greenpeace since its inception in the early 1970s. When started his own firm, his goal was to design a diverse range of projects while infusing sustainability and energy efficient design as much as possible. He also wanted to focus on projects where he could renovate instead of demolishing as those projects save vast amounts of carbon, embodied energy, and construction waste. “Our communities have such a large stock of existing buildings which can be our greenest buildings if we just make the right changes to them,” he explains. “They are full of embodied energy already. We don’t have to create the steel; we don’t have to create the concrete, it’s already there. “ “If we insulate those buildings well, if we make them function in a different way, they can last for another lifetime,” he adds. “It’s a good way to improve and sustain our environment.” Over the years, Passa Architects has largely been successful in achieving the owner’s early goals. The company has provided services for projects of all types, ranging from single family homes to multi-unit residential apartment buildings, office buildings, medical centres, and institutional projects such as schools, university buildings, libraries, art galleries and theatres.
