Can an architect help design a sustainable house?

Will an architect be able to help me create a sustainable and energy efficient home? Can they help with the design and planning of things like the heating and insulation?

"Yes, although you may want to consider hiring an architectural technologist like ourselves instead on projects such as these as we have a greater technical knowledge of a building and how to make them more sustainable."

"Absolutely!
Sustainability is the path that all members of the Built Environment travel via in this time and age. With the Archietect championing the course, all you need is to find the right Architect and you will be able to tell from your briefs if they are invested in achieving aesthetics, function and cost efficiency with SUSTAINABILITY as the anchor.
Lowering carbon footprints/emissions during the project life cycle and during use of the building can only be achieved when all stakeholders ( Client, Architect, Engineers, etc) understate the vision and stay on course"
