 Sustainable design optimizes building performance and minimizes
negative impacts on building occupants and the environment.
We incorporate sustainable design and energy efficiency principles
into our construction and modernization projects, balancing cost,
environmental, societal, and human benefits that help meet our
tenant agencies' mission objectives and functional needs.
Sustainable design principles aim to:

• Optimize site potential.

• Minimize non-renewable energy consumption and waste.
• Use environmentally preferable products.
• Protect and conserve water.
• Improve indoor air quality.
• Enhance operational and maintenance practices.
• Create healthy and productive environments.

Implementing sustainable design principles facilitates the development of enduring solutions, enabling societies to safeguard the
welfare of their populace and foster a harmonious coexistence with the natural environment across
successive generations.

Designers employ strategies to mitigate waste generation by developing goods that possess recyclability, composability,
and, ideally, perpetual reusability. Additionally, they can develop a manufacturing procedure to mitigate or eliminate carbon
dioxide emissions. One of the most prominent challenges of our era pertains to environmentalism and climate change.
mitigation. Consequently, numerous designs are closely associated with addressing these issues.
