Sustainability
and Resiliency
Academic health center campuses encompass large areas within their communities and hold both a social and planetary responsibility to be sustainable, and eventually regenerative, environments. The ultimate goal is to design campuses, buildings and precincts that give more than they take.

Sustainability
Our holistic, sustainable design and consulting services cover parametric building performance analytics, health and wellness analytics, resiliency planning and Net-Zero energy, water and waste design — all with detailed life cycle cost analysis at any scale.
We consider all categories of carbon impacts when designing for a net positive carbon project. Both operational and embodied carbon are incorporated into a balancing equation that seeks to produce facilities that are carbon positive for all carbon categories and allow the buildings to act as “Carbon Banks.” We utilize proprietary parametric energy modeling software and industry material life cycle analysis software to achieve this balance.
Net-Zero and Carbon Balancing
Building upon Net-Zero carbon design for buildings, we’ve executed campus and city decarbonization plans using parametric energy modeling and detailed life cycle cost analysis. Experts from our power, renewables, code and economic teams work with our architects and engineers to create decarbonization roadmaps for
our clients.

Resiliency Planning and Design
We have completed over 50 large-scale resiliency plans for cities, municipalities and campuses. In addition to planning for natural disasters and climate risk, we employ our Resiliency Design Assessment tool for vertical structures that recommends specific design strategies based upon natural disaster potential and climate risk.
