Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to leadership in environmental engineering and design. Our principals are LEED AP accredited.

Reduce / Reuse / Recycle. Renewing an existing asset for continued use is intrinsically "green." Environmental stewardship begins with the decision to renovate or maintain a facility, rather than demolish and replace it. It's been calculated that the manufacture, delivery, and installation of one square foot of new brick wall consumes the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline.

Equally green, within the realm of renovation, are decisions that resist unnecessary replacement of materials or systems. Our experience with thousands of projects underpins our judgments regarding components that can safely and sensibly remain in place.

Finally, when replacement is warranted, we specify environmentally friendly products and materials – renewables, those with low VOC's, and those that are locally sourced.
