Sustainability

At LCA Architects, we take stewardship of the earth seriously. We regularly make recommendations for water, power, and HVAC efficiencies and specify sustainable products. As part of this priority, we've hosted and participate regularly in workshops regarding the California Green Building Standards Code (CAL Green) and have participated in both LEED Certified and Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) commissioned projects. We believe that sustainability is an essential aspect of our design approach, and we strive to create buildings that not only reduce their environmental footprint but also promote a healthier and more productive indoor environment.

At LCA Architects, we are committed to giving back to our community. We have contributed to various community projects, including the Michael Chavez Center for Economic Opportunity, a cutting-edge economic development agency serving Concord's Monument Boulevard community and beyond. We have also sponsored the Diablo Valley College Architecture 298 course, which participated in the Cal Poly Design Village Competition, and supported the Annual Habitat East Bay Executive Build. We believe that our involvement in the community is essential to creating a better environment for everyone.
