Built Environments

Green Building Design

Green building incorporates the principles of ecological sustainability, energy efficiency, and indoor environmental quality. Our clients emphasize one or all of these principles to achieve preferred designs in remodeling, new construction, building shells, and tenant build-outs. Built Environments takes sustainable building to the next level with enduring designs that combine the best in sustainable practices with the functionality of improved hygrothermal design and indoor environmental quality. We are actively involved in every phase of design and construction. The result is environmentally responsible structures with unsurpassed durability and the strictest attention to occupant health, well-being, and productivity.

Whether you seek full certification or only elements of improved air quality and building performance, we bring concepts that work. Our designs exceed conventional green and healthy initiatives by emphasizing truly superior function, hygrothermal performance, and occupant health. We can also assist in achieving your goals for independent certification under recognized rating systems such as the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program and the Green Building Initiative's Green Globe Rating System.

Projects involving certification by the U.S. Green Building Council are addressed by our LEED Consulting.
