Sustainability

Our Philosophy

Sustainable strategies are those decisions that are both good for people, and good for the planet. Sustainability isn't one-size-fits-all, it's a process of discovery and learning. Our goal is to help you define what sustainability means to you.

We will work with you to find a balance between strategies that are important to you such as those that restore natural systems, reduce energy use or enhance healthy indoor air, benefit the local economy or use locally sourced materials.

Feasibility is also an important aspect of sustainability. What does your land or building have to offer? How will you live in the building and what will your budget allow?

We will provide you with clear direction so that your project reflects what you hold dear. We can also discuss the benefits of third-party verification programs such as LEED, Built Green, and the Living Building Challenge.

We are Certified Sustainable Building Advisors. This professional designation, awarded by the SBA Institute, represents 9 months of coursework and the passing of the professional certification exam.
