Sustainable Design / LEED

Sustainable design and concern for the environment is not just what we practice but who we are. We are continuing to learn - constantly redefining, and improving. Our firm provides an integrated engineering approach and depth of capabilities - a single source ready to face today's challenging projects with a focus on innovative design solutions. Our professionals are experienced in working with integrated design teams to design high-performance buildings. Mechanical systems play a significant part in the success of such buildings, through improved indoor air quality, better space temperature and humidity control, and increased energy efficiency.

While many building designs incorporate some elements of green design, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)® certification process is the definitive and quantifiable standard for what constitutes a "green building". The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. We specialize in applying knowledge to the energy, ventilation, and renewable resources related to HVAC systems. HVAC represents 30-40% of a typical energy bill in our area.
