Can you afford to not be green?

We don’t think so. In fact, our sustainable design experience demonstrates that environmental, social, and economic sustainability are not only compatible, but are also mutually sustaining. Nearly half our firm is LEED® Accredited, and the majority of our projects are pursuing sustainability benchmarking systems, including:

     •  LEED (multiple systems including LEED for Neighborhood Development)
     •  Built Green™ Multi-Family and Communities
     •  Enterprise Green Communities
     •  Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard
     •  Living Building Challenge
     •  Sustainable Sites Initiative Guidelines and Performance Benchmarks

GGLO's commitment to the 2030 Challenge is reflected in multiple aspects of our practice. Our Sustainable Design Group educates staff, peers, and clients in green building practices; our Environmental Action Plan ensures we adhere to the same ambitious standards we recommend to our clients; and we have been conducting Building Performance Evaluations since 2006.

Below is a partial list of our sustainable projects:

In addition to our built work, we are continuously expanding our technical knowledge base and understanding of the social and natural environments through research and design projects.
