What We Mean by Green Building

While "green building" may evoke different meanings to different people, we strongly believe that a truly green building combines and optimizes all of the following features:

• Energy Smart: We aim to reduce energy consumption without compromising modern technologies. We strive to shrink your energy demand pie and fill it with renewable energy sources.
• Renewable Energy: As much of the energy you use should come from safe, clean, and renewable sources.
• Water Smart: We believe it is crucial to use as little water as possible and ensure that the water you do use is healthy and safe.
• Safe and Healthy: We prioritize projects that foster healthy occupants and a safe future. This means avoiding toxic and dangerous chemicals, ensuring proper ventilation, and minimizing safety risks.
• Environmentally Appropriate Materials: We advocate for materials that are reused, reclaimed, or recycled, sourced from sustainable suppliers, and minimizing embodied energy.
• Land Smart: Where applicable, projects should be sited in areas with existing infrastructure, accessible transportation, and previously used spaces.
