Past The “Green Design” movement began over forty years ago. Since that time, many technological advances have been made. Sustainable Design has evolved into an important cost and resource saving practice.It fundamentally affects the way human beings work, live and feel in a building. A modern “green” building is more often than not a happy place to be—incredibly functional, full of light and fresh air that’s cooled or heated to an optimal temperature. Satisfied tenants tend to stay in sustainably-designed buildings longer and the properties hold their value. Present Sustainable Design uses our planet’s resources responsibly, harvesting natural light, using automation to increase energy conservation and reducing energy costs to positively affect your bottom line.According to the US Green Building Council (USGBC), “Green building is a win-win, offering both environmental and economic opportunity. Greater building efficiency can meet 85 percent of future demand for energy in the United States and a commitment to green building has the potential to generate 2.5 million jobs.”As your design partner, we want to help you benefit from recent advances in Sustainable Design. We are passionate about suggesting “Green Building” design approaches wherever possible. Future We are equipped to help you implement Sustainable Design practices at every stage of your project. We design commercial mechanical and electrical systems to provide the most energy efficient systems available within strict environmental and budget parameters. Our engineers first carefully review mechanical systems and equipment options with facilities personnel. When system options are identified, we thoroughly address system durability and discuss how those systems should be maintained.We have designed several projects in accordance with the U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System TM. Projects include the Mental Health Center of Denver, in Denver, CO, Suncor Refinery Business Center in Commerce City, CO and CSU Pueblo Student Housing. Each engineer strives to exceed all relevant codes outlined by the International Building Code and amendments made by Authorities having Jurisdictions (AHJs).
