Doubling down on our commitment to resilience

According to the Environment Defense Fund, the social impact of this savings would equate to nearly a billion dollars in annual healthcare costs, food prices, and avoided property damage. Increases in CO2 atmospheric levels can lead to warmer temperatures, changes in precipitation, and shifting climate patterns. Since the energy demand for buildings makes up at least 30 percent of all global CO2 emissions, improving our efficiency in this are is critical to the overall impact of climate change mitigation efforts. [...]given the dire situation laid out in the IPCC report, our goal is to get every project we design to net-zero for energy and water consumption as quickly as possible.
