Sustainable Design

Process

We address each project with environmentally responsible design practices. In addition to our projects that have qualified for LEED certification, our portfolio includes several high-performance buildings. Our philosophy promotes efficient use of resources, water and energy-saving strategies.

Our team will work with you to establish and prioritize your project’s sustainable features. In addition, we will evaluate the impact of each option on the facility construction and life cycle. Our goals for the completed project are to meet the highest level of efficiency possible within your program and budget and to develop operational efficiency and effectiveness through environmental design practices.
