Our Portfolio About Us Our Services Contact Us Giving Back OUR FIRM'S ETHOS Since our founding, Landis Architect/Builders has always been focused on sustainability, historic preservation, and giving back to our local community. We believe that we must all do our part to make the world, and our communities better, safer, and healthier. As a Design + Build firm, we consider our work to be impactful in this way for both our clients and the communities in which they live. We recognize however, that our impact must reach beyond our core business. Landis is committed to building a better future in several different ways. Our founders have donated their time and expertise to the District, serving on the Mayor’s Green Building Advisory Council, The DC Construction Codes Coordinating Board, and the DC Historic Preservation Review Board. Additionality, from the board room to the front lines, our founders are involved with several local charities. Beyond this, our firm supports a handful of Local, National, and International charities. GREEN PRACTICES IN PROJECTS Throughout our design and construction process, we work to promote sustainability wherever we can. Much of our focus is on materials, processes, and sourcing locally. We standardly recommend spray foam insulation, which helps your home retain its heat and reduces energy consumption. We use local suppliers whenever possible, and try to schedule our production team to projects close to their homes, reducing carbon emissions from travel. Our industry continues to increase material recycling, uses digital solutions when possible, and focuses on efficacy for sustainable materials and technologies, but there is still more to do. We constantly seek to improve our practices to build a sustainable future. GREENING OUR OFFICES When we built our offices in 2007, we wanted to showcase sustainable design and construction. We installed a photovoltaic solar array on our roof, and a geothermal conditioning system that draws heat from the ground 60 feet below our building. These systems provide most of our electrical and HVAC needs throughout the year. Additionally, we used sustainable materials whenever possible, such as bamboo flooring, energy-efficient LED light bulbs, and Energy Star appliances. Finally, we designed our office with skylights to maximize natural light, reducing our dependence on illumination with light fixtures. As our firm grows and the science and technology of sustainability improves, we are determined to keep pace by changing and improving our office space and our best practices to reduce our carbon footprint. WE SUPPORT THESE CHARITIES IN BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE ROCK CREEK CONSERVANCY Rock Creek Conservancy exists to restore Rock Creek and its parklands as a natural oasis for all people to appreciate and protect. REBUILDING TOGETHER At Rebuilding Together, we make essential repairs to help our neighbors stay in their homes. Our work often goes beyond each home.
