SUSTAINABILITY SUSTAINABILITY MEANS BUILDING SMARTER At DAVIS, we never lose sight of the impact construction has on our surrounding environment. We believe in providing healthy places for people to live, work, and play. By taking a proactive sustainability approach, DAVIS mindfully integrates environmentally responsible procedures across all market sectors. We define priorities, set measurable targets and evaluate costs and benefits. Personally chosen by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to complete both of their headquarters spaces, we are known regionally and nationally as a market leader in sustainable construction. Our team is well-versed with jurisdictional green codes and knowledgeable of the various green rating systems and guidelines such as USGBC’s LEED® system and the Well Building Standard. From our preferred vendor waste management program to jobsite air quality standards — we build green. Sustainable practices are rooted in our culture — at DAVIS, it’s the only way we do business. In addition to the example we set on our project sites, we’re also continually evolving our sustainability initiatives at our Rockville headquarters. From planting an annual native garden, to corporate composting and comprehensive educational opportunities, we are truly committed to sustainable construction. Regardless of the sustainable goals of a project, DAVIS sets high standards for managing waste and indoor air quality on each of our project sites. In 2016 we surpassed our waste diversion goals with 85% of waste diverted from landfills.
