Project Examples

We create high performance building guidelines for projects at the neighborhood, government, and corporate campus scales, helping major institutions define, procure, and operate their green building portfolio.

Green Programs provide a system for ranking your development options through the filters of environment, economy, and community. Building upon our Team Green project experience, we offer a unique perspective for writing innovative yet practical guidelines for new development.

Our methodology follows a path of assessment, implementation, and verification:

ASSESSMENT
Through a collaborative process, we first assess the desired performance metrics, identify opportunities, and develop an implementation methodology.

IMPLEMENTATION
We then set specific design criteria and performance targets. By placing the design criteria solidly within the development process with clear targets and stakeholders, we help ensure objectives are met.

MEASUREMENT & VERIFICATION
Results are studied to determine where predictions need refinement or implementation needs improvement. Recommendations are presented to stakeholders in the development process.
