Every material choice, every watt, every wall we keep or tear down carries a carbon cost. Tomorrow demands that we account for it all, and design accordingly.
Energy master plans chart a comprehensive path toward reduced consumption, cleaner power sources, and lower emissions. They position our clients to meet sustainability targets while realizing cost reductions.
A comprehensive evaluation of 2M SF of aging real estate prepares for the State of Maine's energy and greenhouse gas emission goals.
Net zero energy buildings generate as much energy as they consume annually. This translates to dramatic savings through eliminated or minimal utility bills, enhanced property values, and protection against volatile energy prices.
As a certified net zero energy building, West MEC's Building X produces 8% more energy than it consumes.
Whole life carbon looks at the complete emissions profile of a building: the embodied carbon from materials and construction, the operational carbon from heating and cooling over decades, and the end-of-life carbon from demolition or adaptive reuse. Understanding this full cycle prevents us from optimizing one phase while ignoring emissions elsewhere.
Going beyond net zero energy, the U.S. Virgin Islands' disaster resilient Sprauve PK-12 campus considers broad carbon reduction strategies including water, energy, building systems, and materials.
Mass timber reminds us that environmental performance and fulfilling experiences of space aren't separate goals. The same material that stores carbon also feels grounded and warm, and is measurably healthy. Read more on how our decade of timber experience has confirmed it as a core resilient design application.
Bolstering a mass timber portfolio of more than four million SF, ongoing tall timber research drives continued innovation.
The most sustainable building materials are those already on site. Demolition wastes not just materials but the embodied carbon that went into creating them: the emissions from manufacturing, transportation, and construction. Adaptive reuse preserves that investment and sidesteps the substantial carbon cost of building anew. See how adaptive reuse repositions existing spaces for lasting benefit.
Brown University innovates anew in the century-old Narragansett Power Station, transformed into South Street Landing: a premier medical education facility.
Solar installations at every scale are rebuilding the energy grid from the ground up. Our 7+ gigawatt portfolio connects providers and facilities teams with reliable utility-scale and building integrated energy and power solutions. Explore how to solve energy challenges with reliable renewables engineering from trusted technical experts.
A robust partnership with McCarthy Building Companies has delivered over six gigawatts of power in nine U.S. states.
Resilient Design
Resilient design can safeguard buildings and communities against climate risks, preparing them to endure extreme weather and remain operational. More broadly, by anticipating disruption and adapting systems and materials, resilient design reduces the impact of changes in the environment, society, and the economy.

& Healthy Materials Pledge
Our sector, discipline, and executive leaders are dispersed to mentor the next generation of employee-owners, counsel clients, and share their design voice in their local communities.
Every project and client solution starts with a spark of an idea. Design thinking and problem solving are some of the ways we start to engage a design challenge.
